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

Decreased Amps by more than halve

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.

I have a 3 ton ac and this specific device works on up to 4 ton. I live in florida and was experiencing hard starts when running on a 13k whole house generator. Due to these hard starts I encountered early failures on both my condenser and blower fans. They failed months after using my generator. This Im told was due to spinup during starting with low power due to the power strain. If you plan on running your home ac with a generator this device is a necessary. Install easystart first then check your max startup amp draw with the bluetooth app and then buy an appropriate size generator. This device will let u buy a much smaller generator which will use less gas which is a game changer. Easy install only 4 wires. I recommend buying the install kit My startup amp draw went from 79 amps to 27.2 amps with easystart. Wow!!!! I highly recommend this device My ac startup is now whisper quiet

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

Great product, the run capacitor failed on my compressor, easystart refused to keep trying to start, saving my compressor motor from over heating. Replaced capacitor, all is good. Had to call factory to find out how to clear the error code on my easystart.

I bought this unit 18 months ago because it claimed to reduce A/C condenser surge wattage by 66%. Well it works! My starting watts went from 24000 watts down to 8000 watts on the condenser. It allows me to use a Briggs 8000 portable generator to run my 4 ton A/C,- blower included. Make sure you get a generator that has less then 6% Total Harmonic Distortion! There are not many out there. Also, my living room lights dont blink when the A/C Condenser kicks on with city power during normal use. Great product if you live in a hurricane city like I do and want to have central A/C when the hurricane hits! I cant recommend this great product more...

I am at 6,700 starts on my Heatpump since installing . I love this product . I can now use my Generator to run the heatpump . Avg startup current is about 37amps , down from 67 Amps .Then after start it runs around 12-13 amps . Besides the ability to use a Generator to start . Now my heatpump starts quietly , Its far easier on the unit itself with softstarts , and im saving a bunch on electricity as well so now the easy start has become Free. I installed myself as i am an inside Wireman by trade .

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

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.
