The other day my air conditioning system started blowing out hot air
and I really didn't want to call an HVAC company unless I absolutely
had to for obvious reasons ($$$$).

>From doing some troubleshooting I narrowed it down to the dual motor
run capacitor for the fan and compressor being faulty. I took pictures
and wrote up a quick guide. I'm sure most of you could swap one of
these out with your eyes closed but hopefully someone will find it
useful.

I couldn't help but noticed that you carefully *pryed* open the service
panel. I also couldn't help but noticed how you properly trimmed back all
those bushes to help the unit run cooler [perhaps the reason the run cap
failed?] But what do I know?

This web site is about as useful as a prescription for amoxicillin.
Sometimes it will make the patient better, and sometimes it's a waste of
time.
