My a/c unit stopped working and when I called to schedule service I was told by my usual provider (Titan) that it would be the next week before they could come out. So I got online (YouTube is great) and started researching what the problems could be. It looked like the capacitor was one possibility. I removed the capacitor and took if to Baker, and although the guy at the counter was nice, he couldn't help me and couldn't sell me any parts. He did, however, recommend Allred's. The guy at the Allred's counter was helpful and sold me a replacement capacitor at a very reasonable price. Another guy who worked there looked at my capacitor and said he thought it looked good. He suggested I look at the contacts. I bought the capacitor anyway and, sure enough, it wasn't the problem. But I inspected the contact points and they looked sketchy. So I pulled the contacts and went back to Allred's. I purchased a new contact rack and, sure enough, my a/c unit started working. I appreciate the service at Allred's and recommend them highly to any do-it-yourselfer with the inclination and time. For less than $30 I got my a/c unit working again.
