It would interesting to know how many people, who pay for regular maintenance, have actually had the capacitor replaced during the maintenance visit, and how much extra they were charged.
Not me. The inspection visit identified a degraded capacitor and I replaced it myself. I had options, I could have waited for the next visit or I could have waited until it failed. I chose to benefit from the inspection and perform the preventive maintenance.
