No, but these things don’t go out as often as this board acts like they do. I have about 30 AC units under management between my home, office, and rental properties and there’s no reason for me to keep 25 different capacitors. I haven’t had one go out in probably 2 years. So for the vast majority of people buying an AC capacitor is a waste of money.

It’s a very common issue and an after hours call to fix is going to be $250+. That’s the only reason buying one makes sense.

Just a heads up, AmRad makes a universal Turbo 200 dual run capacitor LINK where you just move jumper cables to provide the correct microfarad setting for the compressor and fan motor for whatever your condensing unit requires - it’s a little pricey at around $80 but that 1 capacitor could likely be used on every HVAC condensing unit on all your rental properties, home and office - so you’d only have to keep one spare, not 25.
