💡 Why that $20 Amazon capacitor isn’t saving you money
About once a week someone walks in and says:
"I just replaced my capacitor a few months ago… and it failed again."
9 times out of 10, it came from Amazon.
Here’s why:
✅ Quality Matters
Cheap capacitors use lower grade components. They work at first, but heat and load quickly break them down.
✅ Microfarads Matter
As bargain capacitors weaken, motors struggle to start, hum loudly, or run inefficiently, putting extra strain on your system.
✅ Reliability Saves Money
Saving $15 today can turn into downtime, another service call, or even motor damage tomorrow.
