When to replace lines
I’ll be replacing my 3.5 ton Goodman soon. How do you determine if the lines need to be replaced? I’m on a concrete slab, so not sure how they are run.
HVAC recommendation
We are near Colonial Beach, VA and have a 1282 sq ft manufactured home that has a 550 sq ft open area. In the open area it has a 9ft high vaulted ceiling. There are two 14"x5" rectangular runs of 45-50 feet in length. There are 12 floor vents. 5 of those floor vents are in the 550 sq ft open area. In the link below is what we are considering.

Soft Starter and Run Capacitor "interactions"
I installed a Micro-Air Soft Starter about 3 years ago. All was fine until recently I noticed through the app (thank goodness I checked it once in a while) that I had several "faults." I saw dielectric fluid through the clear plastic cover all inside, and the bottom of the capacitors were browned. Micro-Air said it was on it's last leg (Daa). However, I also noticed my dual run capacitor was fried!! The wire from the contractor to the common was melted, and I noticed the common post was lose and leaking fluid. Now, what I am trying to find out is what caused what? Has anyone experienced this or know what happened? I've done some research online and have yet get a clear cut answer. Any feedback would be much appreciated. I sense installed a new Cap and a new Nu-Calgon Nu-Start soft starter. Thanks!!
