Those aren’t supposed to be round on top.

    When I used to fix cars for a dealership we would sometimes have the service advisor ask us to do work for free. “Come on, it’ll just take you ten minutes!”

    I’d tell them that they can do it themselves if it only takes ten minutes. “But I don’t know how to do that!”

    You’re not just paying for the part, you’re paying for the knowledge, time, and tools of the technician.

      And to be completely honest, if you call an HVAC repair company, they’re likely to do a whole PM cycle on it. Flush the condensate line and pan, clean the coils and the heat exchanger, replace the contactor if you have one, take the temperature differential to make sure the unit is operating reasonably well, replace the blower belt it’s not direct drive. I PM the unit myself every spring and fall. I probably should have had eyes on that cap though.
