I actually had a local HVAC contractor come out and, after inspection, told me that the entire furnace unit should be replaced. It was new when the house was built in 2008. My unit simply would not start. It was just dead. He quoted me just over $2,200 for the replacement. I told him I wasn't going to do that and he left. That was an $89 service call, no repair was done.So, I just went online to read up as much as I could find on what the problem might be. Most everything I read also included suggestions for when to call in the pros.I then determined that there were four (4) possible things wrong. I listed them in the order of the cost of the replacement part suggested, lowest to highest.The lowest cost item was the capacitor. My readings reiterated the importance of replacing the capacitor with one of identical capacitance as the original. This one is an exact match. It is also is the right shape to fit. It was delivered in two days.So, I watched about 4 or 5 YouTube videos, wrote down the instructions, got out a couple of my tools and I was surprised that I had the capacitor swapped out in about 45 minutes. Someone who knows what they are doing could do it in half the time.(BE SURE TO FOLLOW the advice on the YT videos to shut off all power to your furnace and to then discharge the old capacitor by putting an insulated screwdriver across the two electrodes before you try to remove the old one. They can store a bunch of electricity in them.)I put the whole thing back together, restored power and the unit has worked perfectly ever since. That has been about three months ago now.It has worked for our furnace as well as for our central air conditioning which runs through that same unit.I keep reminding my wife that I SAVED us just over $2,200! (That hasn't made anything different happen, but I keep reminding her just the same. 😉)Photos show the burned out capacitor that I removed. I forgot to take a photo of the the new one I installed.

It worked as a start cap for a motor.

Bought one to replace an original that was no longer within specs. HVAC guy charges $100 for these things. Works as expected.

Fit with no problems, ran with meter came up to within .01% of the written specifications. Our friend was able to work again.

Was set to make a 400$ dollar repair on my AC unit. This little baby fixed my issue for pennies on the dollar. Well constructed, it’s more than a suitable replacement for the OEM parts on my hvac blower motor.
