Two hundred bucks? I'd be on that faster than a scalded dog.

That's not a standalone price. I still have to pay for purging and
recharging with a bit extra for brazing fittings. This would be viable
only if the other stuff becomes necessary.

So far, it doesn't look like you got such a great deal on the Goodman
equipment. For everything else you have spent, and what your fixin to spend,
you could have gotten a lot better quality equipment that already has
expansion valves, hard start kit already installed, and had the whole job
done with no problems, and a full warranty.

But it seems that your bent on re-inventing the wheel, and throwing a whole
lot of good money after bad....but its your money, you can do what you want
with it.

He could have bought Goodman equipment with a TXV & with a Copeland Scroll
compressor,
with a Scroll usually no start-kit is required; I wouldn't have any system
any other way. - udarrell

FWIW, most all Rheem 410a equipment...especially heat pumps come from the
factory with hard start kits installed. I am assuming that they do this for
a reason..

A start kit on a scroll?? Come on Darrell.
