Edit : Just moved from a 2 story house with 2 ac units a 2.5ton 1st floor and a 3ton upstairs and added Kickstarters to both units so my 12kw portable generator could handle the whole house and it did but i knew the generator wouldnt handle the new house with 3.5ton at 119amp inrush edit : so i ordered this a few months back for a new construction home and i waited till i knew what HVAC system was installed so i could order the correct one and i moved in about 2 months ago but between all the smart switches, security system ceiling fans etc etc i finally got to install this and i have to say Im blown away as my 3.5ton unit was pulling 119amps on start (inrush) and i could easily notice the lights dim when the ac kicked on but now Im at 27.5 amps inrush so i know theres no problem my 12k w Duromax dual fuel generator will handle the new home i measured the inrush amps with the meter and compared to the Bluetooth app and was an exact match so overall i am very pleased to the point that i may order 2 more for my old 2 story house Im renting out Edit : so its been a several weeks ago seems to be going great finally got around to installing it in a weather tight box just to give it some extra protection very happy with it

Residential Home AC

Ea sy to install

Installed this on my 2.5 ton Trane Xr series on my house (1600 sq. ft). Now my Predator 9500 Inverter generator starts the heat pump effortlessly along side the rest of the normal load from the house. Also it is easier on the compressor and fan rather than dumping the capacitor at once constantly using more energy and causing faster wear and tear like before.

Very well made. Instructions are very good. Easy to install. Seems to work as described. Have not tried to start my generator yet for my 4 ton ac, but will try soon. The blue tooth features is nice, but doesnt show same amperage as my clamp on ammeter reading inrush current. It reads higher on inrush and running amps, but at least it reduces current as is supposed to do. 5/22/23 Hooked up my Generac XT8000E generator today, and my 4 ton Lennox started fine with it, along with being connected to my home natural gas supply. My clamp-on ammeter showed starting amps at 34.5A. I am ready now for a power outage.

Had it installed by HVAC Tech, was done in less then 40 minutes. 3 Ton A/C Heat Pump is down to 24 Amps with a name plate of 71 LRA. Now my 7.2kw portable generator can start it up and I am pumped to have that capability.

This pulled the start amps (in rush) from 116 amps to 36. Now my generator can start and run the AC. If youre on the fence about this, do it. It actually works as advertised. There are YouTube videos on the installation. Its not hard to install, but seeing it done makes it much easier.

Works as advertised, definitely a must have if you have a solar inverter.

Installed on my homes 3.5 Ton 16 seer Trane condensing unit ahead of summer. For the last 2 years I have been trying to identify an electrical issue which occurs when my ac cycles during my home generators weekly test. The air conditioner would run rough and very noisy, sometimes trip itself out on thermal overload. I couldn’t figure It out until I noticed the LRA was 10 amps higher than my generator is rated to produce. A YouTube video from Engineer775 I happened to catch by luck pointed me in the right direction. My results are as follows. I could not believe the RLA in the sticker is 110. I measured 109-112 through my amp clamp. Two years of a mystery why my condenser would make horrible starting noises when running on my home 20kw generator. Preliminary testing shows 24.5 max inrush according to my fluke meter (same meter from initial inrush testing) now that the soft start was installed. My running issues are gone. My lights don’t dim and my condenser runs smooth. I’m impressed to say the least. I have yet to venture into the app and the Bluetooth features but will soon.

Installed easily on my 3.5 ton goodman heat pump a/c. Unit starts up so much quieter. every unit should come with these. Will be nice to run my a/c on emergency generator power.
