As far as the capacitor, it's still in tolerance but my guess is next year you will probably need to change it and $141 is a fair price because they use the $65+ Amrad capacitor and not the Chinese junk you get for $10 on Amazon or sometimes free from Ace Hardware.

Yes, they do use the better capacitors. I have multiple reasons for taking the 2-visit plan, which I’m perfectly comfortable with. Peace of mind is one. Another is that I’m not wasting money paying someone to cut my grass! 😎
I’m also setting up a little test to see if the second visit is as comprehensive as the first and to see how much the capacitor declines after this summer’s power outages and going into the heating season. I don’t have to renew it so it’s money well spent in my mind. I’d only waste it on more bass fishing tackle or golf stuff.
