can hard start kit damage compressor

by Billy Wuckert Published 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago

Can hard start kit damage compressor? Yes, if you will use the wrong size of hard start kit for your air conditioner then it might damage the compressor of your AC. The reason is that it will send an excess amount of current for too long.

While using a hard start kit can prolong the life of your air conditioning, it can also cause some possible damage to the compressor with continued usage. The reason is due to the fact that a hard start kit will send too much current for too long to start the compressor.Apr 27, 2022

What happens if you start a compressor with a start kit?

And when using a start kit, the run capacitor needs to be addressed as well. If the run capacitor is weak, the start kit will start the compressor but will let it operate with higher amperage than designed. This will shorten the compressor’s life.

Do I need a hard start kit for my air conditioner?

I recommend a three-wire hard start kit the HVAC technician can carry, since he typically services most makes of air conditioning compressors. And when using a start kit, the run capacitor needs to be addressed as well. If the run capacitor is weak, the start kit will start the compressor but will let it operate with higher amperage than designed.

How does a hard start kit work?

The Case for Hard Start Kits. Think of the work that takes place to move that much liquid and vapor gas. The compressor must receive a low pressure cold superheated gas at around 60º and move each molecule to a high pressure superheated gas to near 190º. Therefore, keeping the oil clean and void of moisture is a must.

What happens if you put a pit in a compressor motor?

The pits could cause great harm to the compressor motor during the inrush period as well. The inrush amperage is near seven times the running amperage, placing it at times over 100 amps. The high amperage will cause a serious voltage drop that can only be found with an oscilloscope.

Is a hard start good for an AC compressor?

Your air conditioner is no exception. While a hard-starting air conditioning system can continue to operate and provide your home with cooled air, it's not good for the system. It drains excess power, and will eventually cause your air conditioner to break down altogether.

Can a start capacitor damage a compressor?

Using the wrong capacitor rating or a poor quality capacitor can adversely affect the operation of the motor, the compressor or an entire HVAC system.

When should you use a compressor on a hard start kit?

Should every AC have a hard start kit?

Anyone who owns an air conditioner should get a hard start kit because using them will allow the compressor to start up in as little time as possible in the inrush amperage mode. The quick startup will extend the life of your AC units compressor and allow the unit to start more efficiently.

Can a hard start kit fail?

With the large “boost” of capacitance from the Hard-Start Kit, compressor failure WILL occur after an extended time running without the motor-run capacitor, accompanied by the repeated “hammering” the motor takes from “high-boost” over-capacitance starts.

Is a hard start kit worth it?

It improves the efficiency of the AC by enabling the compressor to turn on faster. Since the compressor has to work the hardest in the first couple of seconds, a hard start kit can alleviate much of that effort. The improved efficiency also reduces wear and tear on AC components other than the compressor.

How long will a hard start kit last?

Most off the shelf kits are worthless and die in the first year. If you need one however ,using the one designed by the manufacturer of the equipment is highly reccomended.It will at least last more than a year.

Does a hard start kit void warranty?

Field installed Hard Start kits are considered accessory items, and should be purchased as such. Therefore, attached is a start capacitor and start relay cross-reference chart as they pertain to Copeland compressors. The specifications for these kits is attached. Use of these kits will NOT void any Goodman warranties.

Does a hard start kit save money?

The hard start kit will shorten the start-up period of the compressor. It allows the compressor to start up quickly and use less power during the process of powering up your unit. Ultimately it will let you save money on your energy bill.

What is a hard start kit

A hard start kit is a capacitor (energy storing device) whose job is to collect and store electricity ahead of time and provide an extra boost of energy to your air conditioner when it’s starting up.

How does an AC hard start kit work

Are you wondering how does the hard start kit of an air conditioner works?

Is a hard start kit necessary

Yes, if your air conditioner is struggling with hard start problems then a hard start kit is necessary for your AC.

Can the hard start kit damage compressor

Yes, if you will use the wrong size of hard start kit for your air conditioner then it might damage the compressor of your AC.

Do I need a hard start kit

Now as you have read about all pros and cons of a hard start kit. The next question in your brain might be that:

How much is a hard start kit for an air conditioner

Are you thinking about how much does a hard start kit for air conditioner costs?

How to choose the right hard start kit

If you don’t have any technical knowledge, then how do you choose the right hard start kit?

Why is my air conditioner hard starting?

Because of wear and tear, the compressor will have a harder time turning on at the beginning of the cooling cycle.

What happens if your air conditioner compressor doesn't work?

If the compressor doesn’t work, an air conditioning system will only blow around room temperature air. Because a compressor undergoes immense amounts of work each summer, it starts to degrade over time. Eventually, the compressor needs to be replaced (and it’s usually best to replace the rest of the AC along with it).

Do you need a hard start kit for an air conditioner?

The installation of a hard start kit will probably keep your air conditioner running at its standard performance for a few more years. But having to have one installed in the first place is a sign that you have an aging cooling system and a replacement isn’t too far off in the future.

Can an air conditioning repair technician help with a hard start?

Fortunately, an air conditioning repair technician can help with a hard-starting AC. You don’t need to junk the compressor just yet! The technician can equip the compressor with a hard start kit, which is a way to give the compressor the “jump start” it needs to go to work.

What does a compressor need to overcome at start up?

The compressor must overcome the pressure difference at start up when the expansion valve is a positive shut-off valve. In my opinion, the start kit is an aftermarket item that should be offered to every client. The life of the compressor depends on it.

How many amps is an inrush?

The inrush amperage is near seven times the running amperage, placing it at times over 100 amps. The high amperage will cause a serious voltage drop that can only be found with an oscilloscope. Technicians do not carry one on the truck.

Do HVAC technicians spend time learning?

During my 50 years in the HVAC trade, I have found that most technicians do not spend time learning about the compressor and the a/c system as much as they should. In their defense, they are simply too busy to take the time once they are out of school.
