What is a hard start kit, what does it do and why is it needed?

The compressor, outdoor fan, and indoor fan all have capacitors. Rather than a long technical explanation, just know that the cap helps the motors run more efficiently and cooler. It's a good thing. A hard start basically gives the compressor a huge kick in the butt of current when it starts to help it get up to speed. Then it's out of the electrical circuit until the next start up. It's common to add a hard start to and older compressor that IS having a problem on start up. The comp is old, internal clearances are larger and it needs a kick to get it started. It's not uncommon for an new "tight" compressor to need one also. And, some units come with a hard start from the factory.

A hardstart kit consist of a capacitor that stores up an electrical charge greater than line voltage and with the help of a relay directs it to the start winding of a compressor making it start easier and without the normal strain of starting up before the gases have equalized. it will make any compressor start easier and faster just like your refrigerator. All good air conditioners should have one added if it does not already have one. It also makes a time delay start unnecessary.

upon startup compressor motors require more voltage than line voltage can supply. the capacitor stores this extra voltage and applies it during startup. cheaper Capacitors will melt or explode if the compressor needs to start Often after short periods of time .the better capacitors have some kind of a relay device that protects it from exploding or heating up. I don't know the technical terms but look for one of these capacitors that is a hard start capacitor with the protective relayMy last ac guy put in a std oem capacitor which ecploded and destroyed all the wiring in the control box. upon startup compressor motors require more voltage than line voltage can supply. the capacitor stores this extra voltage and applies it during startup. cheaper Capacitors will melt or explode if the compressor needs to start Often after short periods of time .the better capacitors have some kind of a relay device that protects it from exploding or heating up.

They used to be standard on a/c units. Companies stopped putting then on as to cut costs. It won't hurt to put on and will likely increase the life of your a/c unit. Very easy to put on. I changed my ac capacitor and put a hard start kit on my 18 year old unit when the compressor wouldn't start. Works great now.

emergency starts sure will be a thing of the past. I use it for my motorhome after it sits idle for long periods. and it is a V8

Well its according to what features you want to add. This is basically just remote start and entry, and starter kill.

Mine starts really easy I bought the additional electric start for it and there is nothing easier.... I really recommend the electric start adapter

To the best of my recolection, the compressor came with start up oil and that was about it. The 'start up kits' that I have seen are primarily for the bigger compressors. Double check me on this, though. I have used this compressor for about a year now and am very satisfied. My use is homeowner/occasional and stays 'pumped up' in the garage for light immediate use. Sorry I couldn't be of more specific help.

You will need to go with a straight bolt pattern style starter which is offered by the same company

I've never heard such a question. This is a battery charger, therefore you need a battery. A starter would trip the built in fuse as the draw would be greater than 100 amp.Please rephrase your question. IE: Will this unit charge a low battery to start a vehicle engine! The answer would be yes unless the battery is defective

This is just a replacement for what you should already have. If your 2010 Impala has a factory installed or dealer installed remote start on your vehicle, you should have received a key fob such as this when you purchased the car or had the remote start installed on the car. If you didn't, you probably do not have a remote start kit on your car.

Not that I am aware of, no. You have to physically start it. That would be a great idea though! But, unlike Tim who thinks they're junk, I really liked mine! It did exactly what I wanted it to! It wasn't perfect by any means, but for the price and what I needed it to do, worth it.

I am not an HVAC technician, and I know there are a few HVAC pros that would say that this type of Hard Start Kit would (over time damage the compressor), and there are also a few HVAC pros that would agree that in an old fridge/freezer; it is just not worth to spend hundreds of dollars in original parts and in some cases you might not be able to find the originals parts at all, in those cases even them use this kit. I used this kit on my 8 years old refrigerator; it has been 5 months and so far it is running like a charm.

Seems like an odd question. I mean, you always try to keep things running to the newest condition possible. The start-up kit is a must and will get you up running smoothly. These are some top quality compressors, I've yet to have a problem with this.

that is used to flash /program the module that you will need to start your car.when you buy the remote starter and bypass module together most stores will flash the module for you, all you have to provide is your vehicle information.

There are two connectors on each wire to allow attachment of the hard start kit to the capacitor and then the wires for the compressor attach to the wings on the hard start kit connectors. Please refer to you particular models wiring schematic to know proper wire placement

My Sainsonic AX-05B came with what basically amounts to a quick start guide. The instructions were no different than the first sentence of BizzyMatt's answer, and you can't do any better than BizzyMatt's guidance.

This kit is designed to fix a no lock up (torque Converter) and to fix a no fourth gear conditions , due to high mileage. Increases line pressure to the torque converter and all gears(harder shifts). You will have all gears. I used it to fix a slipping torque converter.

Because you just need to connect it to your computer with the cable provided and depending on the type if operating system you have, you will be instructed on setting up. Once it is connected to your computer it is on so no need for a start button. Fyi: I returned it because it kept freezing up my laptop. I wrnt back to using Lacie external drive.

I am not a professional by any stretch of the imagination, but I was able to install this hard start kit on my home unit with NO TROUBLE. What I did was do an internet search for this kit, you may have to look at a few returns, but will eventually come to a "how to" segment put out there from the manufacturer. They, of course, say to only do this if you are an experienced, licensed professional but after seeing the video and studying your air cond. unit carefully you should be able to figure it out. If in doubt you can always have a pro do the install for you.
