EasyStart MicroAir 368 Soft Start Home Commercial Easy Start (ASY-368-X48), Air Conditioner Soft Start Works with Generator, Start Air Conditioners at Less Power, Home and Commercial Use - Grey

This product lowered the inrush current of my customers AC unit from 88amps to 24amp by the 5th start-up! We tested it while the home was under portable generator power and the customer was able to run his AC. Great product. I will be purchasing this for my own home.

My a/c startup amperage dropped by 61%. I was extremely happy to see that drop. Next I will be testing the emergency generator running the a/c as well as most of the normal appliances in the house. I have run the a/c with my generator before but only the a/c out of necessity but I sweat all the time it was on for fear of damaging the a/c or the generator. Now that the a/c draws 61% less startup amps I am confident everything except our electric stove will run on emergency generator which is 7500/9500 watts.

nice part;waiting too have installed;

Too many times after a hurricane has rolled through I have been multiple days to 2 weeks running on portable generators and portable AC units, not any more! Our old 2.5Ton central unit starts up on a 9500W generator now. At a minimum, this device staggers the compressor startup until after the condenser fan gets up to speed. After running for a few months I sent a report through the app interface to tech support and they suggested a setting modification based upon the data they received - within hours of me sending it. Outstanding!

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.

reduced AC LRA from 70A to 26A can now start central AC using 8750 watt surge generator, love the Bluetooth connection, suggest you really read install directions and watch the install videos not for your novice DIY person, very pleased with results. Received unit less than 5 days after ordered

This was an excellent investment at $389. The AC start up current pull was in the 70ies. After installation it dropped to mid 30ies on my 4 ton ac. It was easy to install. Watch the Utube vid for easy instructions. The reason for purchase was so my 11,000 watt generator would start my AC. It worked great.

These are stupendously expensive but do actually work very well indeed. Has taken a lot of strain off of my solar inverter. The only bad things about it are very short Bluetooth range and the fact that it is on the load side of the contactor so you can only see whats happening when your AC is actually on.

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.
