Hoss50 Report post Posted June 8, 2021 If anyone needs good recommendations or info, I am in the wholesale business of A/C so I know alot of the contractors. I can't sell equipment direct, so please don't ask, but if you need something I can get you in touch with a trusted company and work with them and you to help get you a fair deal. I represent Daikin products. I am a commercial guy, but I know the residential products as well as the ductless products. A service by a good contractor can be a good idea. Changing filters and good maintenance are key to long life. The most important thing about getting a new unit though is a good install. The best unit with a hacked in install is going to cause heartache. During a "tune up" good contractors can catch things like weak caps, pitted contactors, compressors with high ohms, dirty coils, condenser fans on the way out, etc. All those things can lead to failures at the worst time of year. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They will take you for a ride if you let them and don't do your research. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DUG Report post Posted June 8, 2021 I just replaced both fan motors and a cap and the 2 grills. Got my parts at Repairclinic.com. Great place to get parts for DIY. I did 2 motors 2 grills and a cap for about $750 in parts. Motors were the most expensive thing at about 220$ a piece. But it's the right motor for my unit.

bigorange Report post Posted June 8, 2021 My guy replaced my extremely loud motor with a newer used one for $50. Then came back on the holiday to replace a cap for a glass of water and 1/3 of an elk roast I’d just taken off the smoker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The price of materials like steel, aluminum, copper, etc keep going up. The price of units will follow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
