Welcome to our Compressor Hard Start
Boosters Page!
Hello Everyone! We Hope All of You Have A Happy, Healthful
& Prosperous 2008!
A common problem that I see each summer
are air conditioning compressors that have a hard time starting, or are
locked up completely. If you are having this problem then we have two compressor
hard start boosters for sale below that might save you from having to buy a new compressor or
new air conditioning system.
*Summer
Air Conditioning Tip: Always turn your air conditioning system off if
there is a threat of a storm. A lightning power surge, or if the power is going
off and on can ruin your air conditioning system. I get lots of repair calls
after a storm. These calls could be prevented if you could remember to turn your
air conditioner off.
We even have three devices that will help try to start your
compressor if it is locked up or tight, called "Super Boost!"

Please always, make sure
all electrical power is turned off before attempting to do any heating or air conditioning
repairs. Please read our disclaimer and "Safety First" related
information near the bottom of this page. Thank You!
Problem #1:
Outdoor condensing fan motor, or both the compressor and fan have stopped running. This problem could be caused
by a bad motor/compressor run capacitor. Please see our Run Capacitors Page to purchase a
new capacitor. Here is a link to our capacitor page: Please
click here for Motor Run Capacitors. If your motor/compressor capacitor is not the
problem, then more than likely you need a new motor or compressor. Is the fan blade tight,
stiff or hard to turn? If the fan blade is hard to turn then you probably need a
new motor, because the motor bearings have become worn out.
Problem #2: Air conditioner compressor
will not start. When power is applied to the air conditioning outdoor unit the
fan starts, but you hear a sound like the compressor is trying to start, "UGGG"...,
for about 5 to 10 seconds and then all you hear is the outdoor condenser fan
run. The compressor is locked and will not start. What is happening is the
compressor is trying to start, but because the compressor motor is locked it tries to start for
a few seconds and then because of the high amperage being drawn goes off on
internal overload. The internal overload protects the compressor windings from
overheating and burning up. I see this many times during
the start of the air conditioning season. Some compressors just have a hard time
starting after sitting all winter long. Some compressors are locked up so bad
that I can not start them and I must tell my customer that they need a new
compressor or new air conditioning system. Many times I can get the compressor
started again without having to buy a new compressor or new air conditioning
system by using the device that we sell below. It is called,
"Super-Boost." I keep two or three of these on the truck. They have
saved many of my customers from having to buy new air conditioning systems.
Below is a description of the "Super Boost" with an opportunity for
you to purchase. One of my customer's asked me, "What
causes a compressor to get tight?" This was my answer:
A tight compressor is caused by moisture, dirt, or
impurities getting into the system that causes scoring of the compressor
piston walls. Moisture getting into the system can be caused by not
evacuating a system with a vacuum pump when it was installed, letting
air into the system, or improper refrigerant charging practices. This
would include not purging the refrigerant hoses before hooking them up
to the unit. The compressor has a piston and piston walls just like a
car. If the walls get scored then this causes a tight compressor. The
refrigerant carries the oil in the system if the compressor does not get
enough oil, (low refrigerant charge) this could cause scoring of the
walls. This could also occur due to age, wear and tear. Some of the old
compressors will get tight. This is why it is important to get a HVAC
contractor who practices good refrigerant charging techniques. When a
refrigerant system is opened up both suction line and liquid line filter
driers should be installed and the system should be evacuated with a
good vacuum pump.
The Super-Boost could save you from
having to purchase a new air conditioning compressor or system!
The Supco, Super-Boost has the following
features that make it a life saver when it comes to air conditioning repair:
 |
The Supco can save stuck compressor
by increasing the compressor's starting torque by 500%
|
|
The Supco, Super-Boost is a solid
state relay and hard start capacitor no loose parts or complicated wiring.
Just wire it across your run capacitor as shown below.
|
On
dual capacitor systems just connect between the "C" and
"Herm" terminals. Please see picture below:
More
Features:
|
The
Super-Boost can be used on all PSC single phase 115 volt thru 288 volt air
conditioning units from 4,000 to 120,000 BTU.
|
|
It
can be used on a wide range of air conditioning compressors from 4,000 BTU
window units to 10 ton commercial units.
|
|
The
Supco Super Boost is used for tight or locked compressors, if you have low
voltage, or for quick recycling of the compressor.

Below
are pictures with an opportunity to purchase. Thank You!
Supco E Class Super Boost Model # SPP6E
The Supco E Class Super Boost hard start utilizes electronic
potential relay technology in conjunction with a backup safety timing circuit to
provide a safe, reliable start device. The SPP6E utilizes voltage sensing,
instant restart and a backup safety timing circuit. This is the same as the
SPP6, but utilizes some extra features that are not found on the SPP6. The SPP6E
is rated for air conditioning systems from 1/2 ton on up to 3 tons.
For your information:
1/2 ton would be equal to a 6,000 BTU window unit. 3 tons would be equal to a
36,000 BTU outdoor air conditioning unit. One ton of air conditioning is equal
to 12,000 BTU's. A 3 ton air conditioner under ideal operating conditions would
remove 36,000 BTU's of heat from your home in one hour.
Supco E Class Super Boost Model # SPP8E
If you have an air
conditioning system that is between 1 ton and 5 tons then the SPP8E would be the
compressor Super Boost you would need to purchase. We included this compressor
super boost for those air conditioning systems larger than 3 tons.
The Supco E Class Super Boost hard start utilizes electronic
potential relay technology in conjunction with a backup safety timing circuit to
provide a safe, reliable start device. The SPP8E utilizes voltage sensing,
instant restart and a backup safety timing circuit. This is the same as the
SPP6, but utilizes some extra features that are not found on the SPP6. The SPP8E
is rated for air conditioning systems from 1 ton on up to 5 tons.

Please
Remember Safety First
Please
read our disclaimer and safety related information below before attempting to do any
typeof Heating
or Air Conditioning Repair. We do not want to see anyone get hurt or
shocked! Thank You!
*Please always turn off all electrical
power, and discharge the capacitor/capacitors (if working around capacitors) before attempting to inspect or repair any heating & air conditioning
equipment. Check to make sure the electrical power is off with a reliable meter. I have never
been shocked by a capacitor (knock on wood) and rarely see them discharge, but
it is a good idea to discharge them before working around them. Please read
below. It tells you how to discharge a capacitor.
 
Please read the following:
How To Discharge The High Voltage
Capacitor: The capacitor is discharged
by creating a short circuit (direct connection) between the two capacitor
terminals and from each terminal to chassis ground (bare metal surface).
Please make sure that you are touching the insulated screw driver handle and not
the metal part of the screw driver before attempting this procedure.
-
Do this by touching the blade of an insulated-handled screw driver to
one terminal, then slide it toward the other terminal until it makes contact
and hold it there for a few seconds. ( Sometimes
this can result in a rather
"pop!")
Repeat the procedure to create a short between each capacitor terminal and
chassis ground.
If the capacitor has three terminals, use the same procedure to create a
short circuit between each terminal and then from each terminal to ground.
