Lowes has these parts. But the guy is in business so he needs to make money which is fine so next time your HVAC guy comes and charges you $100-$200 to change your $60 capacitor, no complaining.
Definitely won’t complain. Have two spare capacitors, at quite a bit less than $60 by the way. That’s about a 15 min job. Already replaced it once. Also have spare igniters for the on demand water heater. Now I will be stocking parts to rebuild a valve. With a career in construction, I’ll never complain about a fair price for a fair job. Brent charges a fair price for great service.
