Air conditioning

 Ok I will order it from amazon.com. I had been thinking about it, you are most likely right. I thank you techntrek and furpod for your help this forum has been so helpful for myself and others.

  Solved the problem of our AC my mother is moving and has a generator for us to use. She bought it when Hurricane Wilma hit south Florida and left her without electricity. It had been sitting for a long time but was able to get it running and it works the AC and microwave at the same time. It is a Dewalt DG4300 powered by a 8 hp. Honda engine. It's not the most quiet generator and heavy 150 lbs. but it will fit in the back of our truck with the tonneue cover closed and with the tail gate locked it will be secure when not in use. It will be nice to have in a rest area when it is hot like it was last two weeks when we were traveling. And for our house in TN I will install a 30 amp. outlet. I will not use it in a camp ground because of it being noisy and the camp grounds we stay at have 30 amp electrical hookups.

Is it that difficult, where could I buy the hard start capacitor, how do I know which one is correct for our AC ? The little I know about electricity it makes sense what you are saying and it wouldn't hurt and would be helpful if we ever wanted to use a generator. The cap you need.. two wires to install. CAP. Thank you furpod but I can't find anyplace that the SUPCO HS6 will work for a Peguin 2 13.5 model 640315.

Has not hurt ours in 4 years.. from the description:

"Applications: Room A/C units, Residential and commercial PSC A/C units and heat pumps, For all PSC A/C units from 4,000 thru 120,000 BTU's (1/2 thru 10 H.P.)"

Don't take this wrong.. but all a/c units are pretty much exactly alike under the shroud. Really.

CAP.

  Thank you, Techntrek. I have a friend in church who is retired from Carrier as a service tech. and he has a motor home. I will ask him in church today if he could look at it and install a hard start capacitor. I will look over his shoulder and ask questions and hopefully learn something about electricity.
