CAPACITORS FOR 3-1/2 TON CARRIER HEAT PUMP

Aug 04, 2010 34 Replies

Just moved into a house with a pretty old Carrier Heat Pump model



38BYB042300. Looks like both the dual run cap and condensor starter cap have been changed out at some time (not mounted correctly - quite the hack job, and it starts/runs a little rough). Would anyone know the correct capacitance/voltages (or P/N's) for each one of these caps? If it helps, the the S/N is 2596E04853. Thanks.

How do you mount a capacitor wrong?

(Don't even go there you jokers)

I can guess pretty close. Send $48.50 and I'll tell you. I'm not sure the wiring colors, not worked on one of that brand.

Oh! I got it now.

Here we just say that it was mounted 'Stormy Style'.

Can you guess what I'm thinking about your $48.50 "guess" fee?

You're thinking that's a bit too cheap for a professional consult?

Get a grip..... even the low-rent, fly by nights here in rural south Mississippi get more than that.

Me and GB charge $65.00 our friend G. charges $100.00 but he has a shiny new truck to pay for. When I do control systems I charge $85.00. The amount of the bill is directly proportional to the attitude of the customer.

TDD

You can't help it if I don't charge enough.

It's interesting to learn how much others charge. I ask other tradesmen, now and again. Quite a range, though.

Sorry I am shame to say that my rates are $105.00 from portal to portal, plus 0.65 per mile, plus tolls and there is minimum charge ????

$75 just to start the truck, and $200/hr labor rate in the flat rate book.

First of all, I hope not all professional guess at their job, Stormin Moron. I have the answer to my question so I won't need your "consult" but thanks so much anyway. You and your pals in this worthless newsgroup, who hold themselves in such high esteem, can now continue to brag to each other who can best take advantage of people, and then elude to the Mormon relgion or Jesus in the same post.

I'm guessing you're worth every penny of it, chief.

You're welcome. Come back any time you want more.
