SPP6 Hard Start Capacitor Replacement 115V Thru 288VAC Hard Start kit for air Conditioner Units from 4,000 to 120,000(1/2 Thru 10H.P.),Increases Compressor Torque 500% by AMI PARTS

easy to install and really works. Saved us from the blistering TX heat. I went out and installed this product when our compressor went out! It made me look like I knew what I was doing when I installed it myself. Made the wifee really happy, she was about to leave me, but she decided to stay a bit longer and cooled off!

Its true! This thing provides the necessary kick for older compressors! I'm more than pleased with the AMI PARTS SPP6 Hard Start Capacitor Replacement! I was experiencing issues with my air conditioner unit, particularly during hot summer days when it would struggle to start. After installing the SPP6, I've noticed a HUGE difference. The installation process was straightforward, and the instructions provided were clear and concise. The quality of the capacitor is top-notch, and I can already feel the increased compressor torque - it's like a whole new unit! I think the SPP6 has improved the performance of my air conditioner and possibly made it more energy-efficient.

This is better than some other SPP6 hard start kit. First of all, the unit is larger in size. Although there is an relay involved, I measured the capacitor directly and got around 123uF, while the one with smaller size measured 80uF. I looked another model CSR-U2 and the label is 189-227uF. My other old hard start kit had the capacitor labeled 135-162uF. I hope the numbers help.Pro: integrated unit, extremely easy to install and hold in place.Con: Should the capacitor be bad, you probably need to replace the whole hard start kit.

HVAC Unit stopped cooling - sounded like compressor just couldn't get going.The HVAC Company told me the compressor was locked up, and the Capacitor seemed ok, so given furnace/compressor was 25+ years old, it would ALL need to be replaced (for $12,000 to $15,000). The Tech said they COULD install a hard start capacitor that MIGHT fix the issue temporarily for $340, but as soon as they started to install it, it was paid for & no refunds. Didn't want to gamble $340 for potentially nothing, so sent them on their way (with $100 for the SVC call).I then started googling and learning about hard start capacitors. Bought this unit for $15 and installed it the next day without difficulty. Compressor started up immediately and ran fine, so this was pretty good for $15!Of course the question is how LONG will it last? No idea, but if I can get through this Summer I will be very happy, and I know some people have eked out a couple of years usage with these things.One comment: many DIY Videos fail to mention that capacitors can hold a charge AFTER the breaker panel is turned off. BE SURE to discharge existing capacitor by grounding out all the lugs with a screwdriver with an insulated handle! I knew to do that already, but I am sure some novices could get zapped otherwise.

This worked amazingly my ac unit is working wonderful and just in time

Well of course it's very easy to install. I didn't have just enough room to get it into the cabinet area. However it seemed to work really good for the first five or six starts now it seems like it's back to doing what it was doing before so I don't know the hard start kit is actually helping. Bought a new larger capacitor in my voltage is still running around 119 volts.

Fast shipping

Seriously, it was harder to remove the screws and cover to the capacitor area than it was to install the device. Once installed, the compressor fired right back up without the loud noise! So far, so good and this was so worth it. I’ll update if things change but I am very happy that it worked and was so easy. DO NOT PAY A TECH TO DO THIS! It is literally a 5 minute job.
