Went down to buy some parts to fix my A/C. They said they had everything I needed but they couldn't sell them to me because they only sell to wholesalers. They refuse to sell anything to homeowners. So I went down to Aircold on Fair St. For a couple hundred bucks they set me up with everything I needed. Stay away from Baker Distributing, go to Aircold on Fair St. instead.
