I changed a fan one, but that's the extent of my AC work. I would say in the temps where I live, I'd just pay someone to come out that day if I couldn't get one locally. I can't wait to have a capacitor shipped.
Comment, David. It was wise to ensure that the capacitor was not storing electrical current (in simplistic terms). High voltage/amperage capacitors can kill people via electrocution. That's why I would pay you the $500 plus on a weekend. :-) You show on these videos why hiring a professional is worth the payment.
I wish I had central AC to even have this problem. What I do have is a toilet that only fully gulps all the gross (for lack of a better term) about 30 percent of the time. In other words it take three or sometimes four attempts for clean water to fully appear in the bowl after flushing. Help! My water bill is already stupidly night.
I would make sure that the bowl is filling up with water adequately. Sometimes the hose in the back of the toilet gets disconnected. If you don't have enough water in the bowl it won't flush well. If that's not the case, you probably just need to snake it.
I’ve got an older condenser at my house, I could see needing to replace this someday in the next few seasons. How long do you think I could keep a new capacitor in my garage before it degrades? I’m thinking I might want to buy one and keep it just in case
It won't degrade anytime soon. Absolutely pick one up. Also pick one up for your blower fan. Not sure how your system is set up. My in door unit has a capacitor similar to the outside unit. I'd purchase both. You will absolutely need it
Correct. A good technician will make great money just cleaning coils. You're free of course to try to do it yourself, but you could also easily forget the parts about shutting off the disconnect and discharging the capacitor. You're paying for the time of a person with that kind of knowledge, not just the service.

If it were me I would just replace it if your gonna buy one just in case

All you hating on prices but never take the time to know it understand the whole situation or circumstances ...
It says 540 service call not capacitor
540$ for that??
That's the beautfy of owning your own HVAC business. You get to sell $20 capacitors for $350and charge $190 for 12 minutes of labor.
It's a weekend call too so that's more money
