    The old unit they said the dual capictor failed, the freon was low and it had a leak in the line that goes into the top side of the unit? (capillary tube is cracked) It has 1 lb of freon in it. He said the small line was a tough line to fix? It is 17 years old and the repair was going to be $800.00 this quote was from the expensive company out of all the quotes.

    Wow prices there are way higher then here. Lets see a $65 service call then a $45 dollar capasitor, 5lbs of new freon $70, plus 2 hrs of labor to fix the unit. $80. So around $260 + tax here.

    The service call was $89.95

    Repair leak says $642.00 with freon , etc. (said he was not sure that would work because the leak was in a bad spot?)
    45/5 capacitor $233.00

    Thinking I was getting ripped off... priceless! :)
