I had to wait a few days because of busy time of year, and then a day more, as at the same time the heat wave hit, the monsoon came too. The area around the outside A/C unit was muddy. I sort of knew what was wrong as the humidity will take out a weak capacitor pretty quick. It ended up just that, a 45$ capacitor. I was happy to find that it was a simple inexpensive, comparatively speaking, repair 350$. It was more than I thought it was going to be after the diagnosis but inline with average costs. I was expecting a deeper discount because of my enrollment in a monthly maintenance program. But the job was done right, quickly and professionally, High amperage capacitors are nothing to play around with, especially in a damp environment.
