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

AC drain line fix, Port St. Lucie
The drain line had backed up because there was no trap. We cleaned the line to ensure proper flow and installed a trap to prevent future backups. Now the unit can drain safely and efficiently.

Leaking unit repair, Port St. Lucie
The unit was leaking water. A damaged drain line was the issue. We replaced the faulty section and tested the system to ensure everything was sealed properly. A leak can lead to bigger problems if not addressed.

AC drain line cleaning, Port St. Lucie
The unit kept shutting off. Clogged condensate drain. We flushed the line, treated it for algae, and watched it drain clean before we left, so the water ends up outside and not on the ceiling.

York system at a local business, Port St. Lucie
A commercial York system and a wall-mounted mini split at the same business. We serviced the outdoor condensers and the cooling equipment so the place stays cold through August.
