For this super tune-up I inspected the customer's air handler and condenser testing the equipment in both heating and cooling. Overall equipment looked within manufacturer specs and was running well. I would highly recommend to the customer that we replace the existing hard start kit as it is dead and no longer functioning in the capacity it is supposed to. The compressor is overamping on startup pulling higher amps than what it is rated for which in the long run can cause more damage and cause that compressor to fail. A compressor saver kit will lower that amp draw and keep it within range increasing the longevity and efficiency of the compressor. I also recommend that we install a whole home search protector into the electrical panel to protect all the vital electronics within the home from power surges and lightning strikes and damage the those can cause. The customer had to leave while I was working on the outdoor unit so I was unable to make these recommendations at the time.
