I had my A.C./heat pump serviced today. The tech is suggesting adding

I have never heard of this. Have any of you and is it a good idea?

Thanks for this link, which led me to Google which led me to suppliers.

It seems that the hard start is a good idea, but they are charging a lot
for them. Only $40-50 if I install it myself.
