Daiken also acquired the McQuay brand of heavier HVAC equipment and water chillers.

If you are going the route of replacing all the equipment in the next year or two, make sure that the components are matched well and that the line sizing is adequate for the new refrigerant that you will be running. Saving a buck at install time will cost you over the life of the unit.
Keep the suction line as short as possible and well insulated.
As was already mentioned check you supply system for leakage. A few days scrambling around your ductwork with a few rolls of foil tape (not duct tape) will do wonders for sealing up the system.
If the ductwork is in a high heat area (ceiling space) make sure that it is well insulated after sealing.

Handle the start capacitor with some care. It may offer you a little jolt if you don't!
You can discharge them by shunting the terminals.
