How to Replace a Contactor in AC Unit

How to replace a contactor on an AC condenser unit. In this video I show and explain how to change out an air conditioner contactor. I replace a single pole contactor with a double pole contactor. I talk about all the safety precautions, what the amp rating should be, whether you should get a one pole or a two pole contactor, which side the power wires need to go on, and other tips involved with replacing a contactor.
