The Report

What the homeowner told us

The homeowner reported hard starts on the AC and concern about power spikes.

Findings & Work Performed

What our technician documented during the visit

I installed a start assist kit to help the compressor start more reliably and reduce inrush strain. I also installed a surge protector to safeguard the system’s electronics from power surges.

The Verification

Verification performed

I cycled the system several times and confirmed quicker, smoother compressor starts with lower inrush amps. The unit ran normally with proper pressures and temperature split before I left.
