hvac : capacitor replacement remove one install two 

Nice job Steve, good to check new caps before installing them. Thanks for sharing.

Why would you do that? Isn't it easier to get one with three terminals?

Do capacitors have a shelf life? I have an extra for my ol' American Standard that has been sitting on a shelf for about a year. The unit blew 2 capacitors in the 8 years I've owned the house so I thought I'd get ahead of it.

thanks for the video. I had to replace a dual with 2 singles and found this to be exact same colors and jumper situation.

Why is it HVAC techs don't carry those little sheet metal screws? Every unit you open up is missing half of those little guys. LOL Another great video Steven

I keep a bunch of single capacitors from 3 to 80 mfd in stock. A role of plumbing strap and im set for most anything! I do keep a couple of the most popular dual caps and a turbo 200 cap just in case. Good job gettin em runnin steve

Good work Steve.

Good job Steve !! Take care, Brett

Great video Steven, maybe you can show a couple of caps in series and in parallel if you haven't already done that. Keep up the good work. Ray

Was this recorded a few weeks ago at that school u were doing the cleanings or did if have to return for a no AC call ? I been meaning to ask u I seen that cap sheet u refer to for low testing on the caps , anyway I can locate that sheet or u can share it with me ?

Nice video...My 33 year old air handler still has the original cap and motor. If the cap ever goes can I buy another high quality cap like the old days? I don't care if it costs more.

great video really help. I went from a 4 wire to 3 fan and did know how to jump it.

great job steven do more videos like this THANKS

Nothing wrong with adding 2 instead of a dual, I prefer using a dual cap, but in a pinch Ill slap a second one in there in a heartbeat

Quality repair Steven! I should have posted in your "tool purchase video," but your right about no one out there beating you on how much you carry in your truck! Take it from me guys, I see Steven all the time on the road, and his truck is a beast!! He carries as much as some supply houses in that truck!!!

You should use a galvanized screw. Sheetrock screw in an outdoor environment will corrode real fast and the metal is brittle.

Super clear video. Great job. Aloha

Best to connect a home run from T2 to each cap. Yes you can jumper from one cap to the other for common. Why not give give the best electrical connection possible?

nice job Steven

Good camera work.

Nice job Steven that way is better in my personal opinion anyways the fan gets its own And the compressor its own if one goes bad then only one is bad

Just as Master Steven LAV said, get the single run caps. Those dual runs are on borrowed time.

Good video.

How do I know which one is common???

Good work Steve! I see you keep going back to the school/daycare... Them a/c are giving them problems slowly huh?

Hey why didn't u just put another 60/5mf dual run capcitor because it takes up less space and is easier then putting in two and drilling another hole for a second capcitor and takes less time and money

I've had to do that more than a few times.

Nice and neat work Steve nice job

Good work

graet job.thankyou

Thank you.

Thats ok if u didnt have a dual run

They will be dropping like flies soon
