We are coming across this a lot these days- homeowners changing out their own capacitors etc. Some complete the task. Others do not. We arrived to find this one mislabeled, wired incorrectly and not secured with a strap. We’ve also seen homeowners order the wrong sizes and install them. This can absolutely destroy the motors in your Ac and cause a much bigger problem than you started with. If you feel comfortable then go for it, but if you’re hesitant at all- don’t. There are so many other things that we check out when we do any service call, we don’t just change this part and leave. The benefits of having us come out and take care of it definitely outweigh the cost of doing it wrong.
