Dog chewed a wire on my AC unit

AC

I'm unsure what this unit is, it's called a Demand Response Unit (DRU). It has a white coated wire that connects to the AC and it looks like two wires inside it. My dog has been on a tear lately and just got this one today. He completely ripped out the red wire.

I tested it, it was live. I turned off the AC breaker for now since it's winter.

Is this something I can rewire easily myself? Or should I get a HVAC person out when it's nicer and not winter?
