a/c needs help, but don't have the money

[sportyflorida1]

my a/c broke down, only blowing heat, contact ahs warranty, a service company came, seems like the tech didn't do much, except informed his company that I needed, not covered, my pocket: new capicator - amazon under $20, service company $$$ probably, $795 for coils in/out cleaned with the drain.  The tech never looked at the filter, he would have to shut off the power to remove the panel to access the filter, how I know, if power goes off, I would have to reset the thermostat, which I didn't have to.  So people of AARP, I'm 67, very limited budget and now $795+ for this, this unit is over 10 years old.  I want your comments, help, anything.  Thank you, David.
