Replaced the start capacitor on the outside compressor HVAC unit. Cost $20 in parts, which were obtained on same day Amazon.
This is the kind of thing I'm not ready to give up. It was extremely easy to do. It did not require going into the attic. No ladders.
Just a bit of know-how was required, along with 2 hex drivers. 7 screws.
Not only was there a significant cost savings, I was able to do it very quickly. This was the 2nd day of a serious heat wave here. Many of our schools closed due to A/C problems and lack of HVAC techs to fix the issues. It helps to be able to do this kind of work when labor is short and there's a potential wait for a service call.
