Review on 💪 Improved Packard C140A Pole Contactor Coil for Enhanced Performance and Efficiency by James Broome

Working great after 2 full AC seasons in the mid atlantic state. I'm not an HVAC technician but an educated homeowner. Just make sure it can handle a 24 volt control circuit and is rated at least 30 amps at 230 volts. It's 40 amps the better. My original contactor on my 20 year old Ruud condenser looked burned around the edges of the dots AND the compressor knocked once or twice at start causing the lights in the house to flicker. When I bought this contactor it was only $6 and I couldn't believe it could be any good. But since the old one still worked out of stock, I bought this one and installed it with a few modifications to the wiring connectors. The famous Packard name sounded good. Yes, made in China, but nowadays almost everything is cheap. If you buy a contactor specifically made for this Ruud here at Revain it will cost over $75 and some of them are also made in China! With a 100% markup on parts and a minimum $120 HVAC call plus time here, you'll get over $300 for this repair if it fails. Also, after 20 years, you will be told that you need a new capacitor bank.
