I havent needed or used it yet, I bought it to have ready on the shelf as a backup for my AC. Specs are identical to what I have now, so I'm hoping all will be good.Fast shipping.

**BOJACK 40+5 MFD 370/440V AC Dual Run Capacitor**As someone who occasionally handles home HVAC maintenance, I recently needed to replace a failing capacitor in my air conditioning unit and decided to try the BOJACK 40+5 MFD 370/440V AC Dual Run Capacitor. I was looking for a reliable and cost-effective replacement that would restore my unit to proper working order.**What I Like:**- **Reliable Performance**: The BOJACK capacitor performs exactly as expected. After installing it in my air conditioning unit, the system started up smoothly, and I noticed an immediate improvement in the overall operation. The capacitor has been running reliably since installation, with no signs of any issues.- **Universal Fit**: This capacitor is designed to work with a variety of HVAC systems, and it fit perfectly in my air conditioning unit. The standard size and dual run capability make it a versatile replacement part for both compressors and fan motors.- **Durable Construction**: The capacitor feels solid and well-made. It has a metal casing that appears durable and capable of withstanding the harsh conditions often found in HVAC units. I’m confident it will hold up well over time, even in extreme temperatures.- **Cost-Effective**: Compared to OEM parts, the BOJACK capacitor is significantly more affordable. It offers excellent value for money without sacrificing quality, making it a great choice for anyone looking to save on HVAC repairs.**What I Don’t Like:**- **Lack of Detailed Instructions**: While installation is straightforward for those familiar with HVAC systems, the capacitor doesn’t come with detailed instructions. This could be a drawback for someone who is not as experienced with electrical components. It’s important to know what you’re doing or consult a professional if you’re unsure.- **Packaging**: The packaging was minimal, which wasn’t an issue for me, but the capacitor could benefit from better protection during shipping. Mine arrived in good condition, but the packaging might be insufficient for rough handling during transit.- **No Testing Documentation**: The capacitor didn’t include any certification or testing documentation, which some customers might prefer for added peace of mind. However, this hasn’t impacted the performance in my experience.**Bottom Line:**The BOJACK 40+5 MFD 370/440V AC Dual Run Capacitor is a reliable and cost-effective replacement part for HVAC systems. It delivers solid performance, is easy to install for those with experience, and offers excellent value compared to more expensive OEM parts. While the lack of instructions and minimal packaging might be drawbacks for some, the overall quality and affordability make it a worthwhile purchase for anyone needing to replace a capacitor in their air conditioning unit. If you’re looking for a dependable and budget-friendly solution, the BOJACK capacitor is a great choice.

Part came in 1 day earlier than estimated. Happy it came early so we didn't have to sit in a hot house for very long.When ordering, make sure to get the exact same replacement with your oem capacitor from your a/c unit. Replaced in 5 mins and was up and running again! $20 fix instead of spending $200+ for a technician to charge me a 5 minute job and part replacement.

I’m kicking myself a bit for not having a spare capacitor on hand for what happened to us over the weekend. We were celebrating our grandson’s first birthday and had a crowd in the house on one of the hottest days yet this year. Right about the time my Wife got into an argument with my Mom (can’t have a party without some family drama) I noticed that the A/C wasn’t working. So I did what anyone would do and called my HVAC contractor who I have a service agreement with. Since it was Saturday I got an answering service, after waiting for an hour for a call back I called them back only to find out that the earliest they could come out was Tuesday, three days later. That obviously wasn’t going to work as the temperature was just going to get hotter. These capacitors last anywhere from 5-7 years (according to my research after the fact) and mine was 8 years old. After spending an hour troubleshooting my A/C I noticed that the compressor would try to come on with a fairly loud hum and then quit. I recalled that I had a similar problem with my older A/C after paying for an HVAC contractor to come and change the 14 dollar part for a $200 service call (price from about 10 years ago). I killed the power, opened the service panel and found the old capacitor (shown in the pictures). After a fruitless search for something I could go pick up locally I found this jewel on Amazon with a 1 day delivery. With a houseful spending the night I went ahead and ordered it based on the technical specs you will find on your old capacitor (mine was a 30/5 micro farad capacitor and the BOJACK unit matched my old one exactly). I took some pictures of the connections and removed the old one. I have a multimeter that measures capacitance and after watching a video found online determined that my old one was toast. I received the BOJACK unit about 24 hours later (interior house temperature of 87 degrees!) and quickly installed it. Keeping my fingers crossed I turned on the power and waited for the compressor to kick on, and it did. Saved myself a bunch of money! So if your A/C unit is running (fan blowing) but it is not cooling, shut the breaker, wait 5 minutes and re-energize the power to the unit. Standing next to your compressor wait 5 minutes and listen for a loud hum but not the typical tinny sound of a compressor running. This is a dead give away that your capacitor is done. I went ahead and ordered a second capacitor so that I have a spare one the next time this happens. If I had done that to begin with I would have had it fixed in fifteen minutes, it’s that easy to replace folks. Pleased with this purchase and would recommend.
