A hard start kit helps a healthy compressor, not a dead one
The outdoor unit hums, strains, and sometimes trips the breaker. A hard start kit gives the compressor extra help getting started.
It won't fix a compressor that's already failed. We test first so you don't pay for the wrong part.
When a kit is the right call
If the compressor is sound but struggling against high pressure on startup, a kit helps, and on an older unit it can buy real time before a replacement conversation. We check the circuit and capacitor, install it, and test the startup.
What the visit covers
- Compressor startup testing
- Kit installation or replacement
- Capacitor check
- Startup test after install

Two Trane systems, one bad condenser, Palm City
Two Trane systems in one house, and one had stopped cooling. The fault was at its condenser. We fixed it, checked the refrigerant, and looked over both units. We told the homeowner where each one stands. Nobody tried to sell a second system.

New R-6 ductwork, Palm City
Old ducts out, new R-6 duct in. We sealed every joint, strapped the runs so they don't sag, and reconnected the attic ducts so every room gets its air.
What happens when you call
Tell us whether the breaker has been tripping. JD usually picks up. If he's under a house or on a roof, someone calls you back. Ask about the diagnostic fee and we'll tell you before anyone drives out.
