Hard Start Capacitor
This product is used for starting air conditioner or heat pump compressors (both reciprocal and scroll type) that need an extra surge of electricity to get started.
Equipment that needs a hard-start capacitor:
Heat pumps or condensers split-systems that have a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) installed on them
Old heat pump or condensers that are mechanically stuck and not operating
If you have a new or old compressor that isn't starting, try installing this hard-start capacitor before you do anything else. The parts inside a compressor might be too physically tight to move, or on systems with a TXV where the refrigerant pressures are higher on start-up, and need an extra surge of energy to get started. This hard-start capacitor provides that extra bit of energy. The capacitor is very easy to install (takes about 1 minute) and will remain permanently in the equipment.
