The McCombs family loves music, and two of the newest parts McCombs Supply is selling - the names at least - scream out music songs and lyrics. 

If they didn't before, Rock-N-Roll and appliance parts now go hand-and-hand. 

When Ken McCombs III first introduced the Ranco Rocket hard start kit to his employees, he started singing, "Rocket Man," by Elton John. 

The kit helps your air conditioner or refrigeration, but every time Ken said the name he put an emphasis on "rocket" and added a "man." 

Soon the entire staff was humming along.

"She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM ...

Oh no no no I'm a rocket man

Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone." 

Here's the lyrics in a YouTube video. 

Now that Elton John is stuck in your head, here are other popular rocket songs. 

Heavy Metal group Def Leppard sang "Rocket," and I tried listening to this to clear out "Rocket Man" from my subconscious, but soon found myself gravitating to  "Rocket Queen," by fellow metal band Guns N Roses. 

But those last two likely don't compare to the wicked beat Herbie Hancock laid down in "Rockit."

Remember this song from the 1980s?

All these song references just because Ranco Rocket has a cool name for its hard start, which is designed to give your air conditioning and refrigeration units a boost. 

Guys in the HVAC maintence business will love Ranco Rocket. 

Starting a compressor requires 4-8 times more electric current than running it. 

Over time, the joint of power puts wear and tear on the compressor and other important components for your AC or refrigeration. This hard start can help with the wear and tear on your HVAC units, as well as give it a boost when it starts up. 

Ah, the word "start" in the Ranco Rocket hard start makes me think of the Rolling Stones and the great guitar riffs by Keith Richards in the beginning of "Start Me Up," the trade mark song that the super Rock group begins all its concerts playing. 

The lyrics "If You Start Me Up I'll Never Stop" plays in great for the hard start kit, which gives the compressor added power during a system start-up and reduces the amount of electricity required. 

So once you start it up, it will never stop - maybe - but it will certainly run more efficiently. Adding a Ranco Rocket hard start to an air conditioning and refrigeration system increases energy efficiency up to 98 percent.         

     The Rolling Stones Perform "Start Me Up."

When an air conditioning or refrigeration unit turns on, the compressor powers up to begin the cool process.  

Adding a Ranco Rocket start Reduces energy consumption up to 50% during start-up.

Features for the Ranco Rocket hard start include

- Extends the compressor and component life. 

- Prevents expensive repairs to compressor components.

- Quick, easy installation. 

- Includes combination relays and start capacitor.

The Ranco Rocket comes in several sizes and boosts of power. 

McCombs sells the Ranco Rocket RS0410 refrigerator hard start relay overload start capacitor 3n'1 for 1/4 and 1/3 HP compressors.

Also part of the McCombs Supply inventory is the Ranco Rocket RS0810 refrigerator hard start relay overload start capacitor 3n'1 that works well for for 1/12 thru 1/5 HP compressors.

The Ranco Rocket RSPP8E AC compressor hard start kit increase torque by 690% and works well  for 1 thru 5 HP compressors.

Looking to boost torque boost by 500%? Try the Ranco Rocket RSPP6 AC compressor hard start kit. 

It works well at 1/2 thru 10 HP compressors and 115 to 288 Volts.

The Ranco Rocket RSPP5 (RAC) Compressor Hard Start Kit Increase Torque by 300% and is ideal for 1/2 thru 5 HP compressors and 115 to 288 volts. 

It is an excellent choice for room air conditioners (RAC).

Time On Your Side

Time will be on your side, yes it is, if you buy and install a Paragon 8041-00 defrost timer control for commercial refrigeration from McCombs Supply. 

Back to music and Rock-N-Roll. 

Ken McCombs III started talking about the Paragon 8041-00, a new timer McCombs' just started selling online and at our store in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and he was singing, "Time, time, time, keeps on slippin' into the future," which of course, is in reference to a Steve Miller Band song. 

Though the song mentions "Time" it is actually called "Fly Like An Eagle," but the premise is correct about time. 

On the contrary, though, time will not slip away and let your food get warm if you use a Paragon defrost control timer. 

The Paragon 8000 series commercial defrost controls are designed for commercial freezers and refrigerators to provide automatic defrost capability. 

ACT NOW: The McCombs Supply prices for the Paragon defrost control timers are on sale now through the end of March. 

They accommodate various types of defrost systems including electric defrost heaters, hot gas, and compressor off cycle.

Back to the word "time" for a moment. 

Think how many songs use the word time. There's Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin' " and Pink Floyd has "Time" and "I've Had the Time of My Life" - Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes from the movie "Dirty Dancing."

There's also "Good Time Bad Time" by Led Zeppelin and "It's Time" by the Imagine Dragons, "Feels Like The First Time" by Foreigner, "The Longest Time" by Billy Joel.

My favorites are "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper. Here's the video

And of course, The Rolling Stones "Time Is On My Side" works great for Paragon 8000 series commercial defrost timer. 

What makes these timers so special for commercial units?

In addition, there is the Paragon 9145-00 Programmable Defrost Control commercial refrigeration timer is easy programming, easy set-up, set time, set defrost start and defrost end, initiate 15 minute manual defrost and 100 has hours of power loss protection for both time and defrost schedule.
