Doubling the life would be true if you installed the device when your unit was new and all you had to worry about was the compressor. There are lot's of other stuff that will go bad to end the units life normally. So, will this device extend the life of your condensor, probably yes but there is no way to know for how long since the compressor can fail for many reasons other than start-up wear and tear.
