Description
Is your air conditioner struggling to start up on hot days? The CPS 5-2-1 Compressor Saver (Model CSRU1) is a professional-grade hard start kit engineered to reduce compressor startup stress, lower energy consumption, and dramatically extend the life of your HVAC system — all at a fraction of the cost of a compressor replacement.
At startup, an AC compressor can draw up to 45,000 watts — roughly 10 times its normal running load. This extreme inrush current strains the motor every single time it kicks on, potentially causing it to fail prematurely. Over a single cooling season, your compressor may start more than 6,000 times. That’s 6,000 opportunities for damage.
The CSRU1 uses a multi-layer starting capacitor combined with a smart electronic switch to give your compressor the extra boost it needs to start faster, run more efficiently, and endure far less wear over time. Many premium factory-built AC units already include this technology — now you can add it to virtually any existing system.
Installation is fast and straightforward with 3 pre-wired, color-coded leads (Black = Common, Striped = Start, Red = Run). No guesswork, no complicated wiring. Compatible with 1 to 3 ton scroll and reciprocating compressors.
Trusted by HVAC professionals nationwide, the 5-2-1 Compressor Saver is an affordable upgrade that pays for itself by preventing costly compressor failures.
Features:
- Reduces AC Compressor Startup Amp Draw — Cuts the high inrush current at startup that can consume up to 45,000 watts, protecting your compressor motor from damaging electrical stress every time your system cycles on.
- Compatible with 1–3 Ton Scroll & Reciprocating Compressors — Designed specifically for residential and light commercial HVAC systems using scroll or reciprocating compressors, making it a versatile hard start solution for most home AC units.
- Simple 3-Wire Color-Coded Installation — Comes pre-wired with only three color-coded leads (Black/Common, Striped/Start, Red/Run) for quick, professional installation — no special tools or electrical expertise required.
- Multi-Layer Starting Capacitor with Smart Switch Technology — Features a heavy-duty multi-layer start capacitor and intelligent switching circuit that delivers a powerful startup boost, then automatically disconnects once the compressor is running to prevent overheating.
- Extends Compressor Life & Lowers Energy Costs — By significantly shortening high-amp startup time, the CSRU1 reduces long-term motor wear, helps prevent hard-start failures, and can lower your electricity bills — making it one of the best-value HVAC investments available.
