Easy to install and seems to work as advertised.
Easy to install and seems to work as advertised. Our lights used to dim when the AC compressor started up, now they don't.

Did not help my Daikin 4-ton A/C system
This kickstart did not work on my 4-ton Daikin system. The system is only one year old but needed some help to get below the recommended inrush current set by the manufacturer. It was about 25A over. I got the same inrush measurements w/o the Rectorseal unit and w/ the unit installed. No help at all.
I ended up using a 5-2-1 hardstart system, which brought the inrush well below the recommended current requirement.
This unit may work for other systems but it did not help mine.
Yes, the unit was correctly installed. I made several attempts.Read full review...

cutting in rush amperage??
It's in the outside unit of my heat pump. I've had 2 techs recommend it, but neither said it was urgent. I don't have a means to measure in rush current, but will assume it has lessened it. The units hold down was a nylon strap with hole for mounting screw. It broke during installation so I used some nylon strapping I had on hand. It has been in for 4 days with no problems so I believe it is working as expected.Read full review...

Works perfectly!
I have a York 3.5 ton unit that would click on for a second then shut down. I installed the one and only kickstart ks-1 and she started right up. Beats paying a serviceman!!!

Lowers Inrush Current
Installed this kit to lower inrush current on my 25 y/o a/c unit. Before installation, current was measured @ 89 amps using a Fieldpiece SC440 clamp meter. After installation inrush current dropped to 40 amps. Product did what it is designed to do.Read full review...

Kickstart works great.
My pool heat pump compressor would not start and kept tripping the breaker. I put the 96506 Kickstart on it and it started right up. Works every time now.

Kick It !
Have used before always keep one on service truck to start stuck or just hard to start compressors. They never let you down and are easy to wire up. Also a great deal.

Good product, good valve.
Good product, good valve. Purchased to replace weak capacitor on 15 year old KS-1 kit installed on a 23 year old American Standard A/C unit, compressor is still running good.
