Replacing the Contactor on your home HVAC System - Easy and Inexpensive DIY

Staring a new video mini-series as I tackle some DIY projects on our home HVAC. Staring out - replacing the contactor on the outdoor unit because the inspector said it’s trending towards failing. Way cheaper to do this myself and very easy to do - you can do it, too!
