My home AC went out a few days ago so I called an ac company out to have it looked at. I'm sure I could've figured it out because I work on boat ACs but I'm busy and not too familiar with the home ac systems and just decided to let somebody handle it for me. Guy comes out today and tells me it needs a capacitor. I said OK, seams reasonable how much. $89 diagnostic fee plus $417 for the capacitor. I asked why so much, and he went off on some speal about it being a "turbo capacitor," absolute bs.... i paid the $89 diag and told him to kick rocks and this was a major AC company from my area.
Ac guys: is this kind of highway robbery standard or do I need to blast this company for being crooks?!
Also, this is the "$417 capacitor" they were trying to sell me
