The compressor start assist device is a crucial component of an air conditioner that significantly reduces the time it takes for the compressor to start. This surge of heat can damage the compressor, terminals, windings, and run capacitor, which are vital components of the air conditioner. The start assist protects these components by significantly reducing the amount of time it takes for the compressor to start, in some cases up to 50%. This means that the air conditioner and compressor will bear the stress, strain, and heat each and every time it starts, which can lead to premature failure. Considering that an air conditioner may start up more than 6,000 times in a single cooling season, the positive impact that the start assist has on the air conditioner is significant.
