Typically, replacing a capacitor takes 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the system and the specific part that needs to be replaced.

Can I replace the AC capacitor myself?

While it’s possible for experienced DIYers to replace an AC capacitor, it’s not recommended due to the potential for electrical hazards. It’s best to leave this job to a licensed professional to ensure safety and proper installation.
