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

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.

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.

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

I received the product and quickly noticed how well made it was. Installation was a breeze with only four wires, took me about ten minutes, that included me putting the required ends on. I had one question and sent a text to support. They quickly called me back, when I say quick I mean less than 3 minutes. They walked me through the setup wire by wire to confirm it was installed correctly. My start up Amos was 60 on my 3.5 ton unit. Now my start up amps is 24. Generator now powers my entire house with the ac unit.

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.

I have a 20 year old unit, about 2.5 tons. My LRA was reported as 78 amps last time I had my unit PMd by a technician. At that time he tried to sell me a hard start kit for like $400 installed. I decided to learn more about AC units, realized i should definitely take action on lowering my LRA for my aged unit, and came across a recommendation for this soft starter. Installation was easy to me, directions were very clear, but some people might be intimidated by wiring, thats the only reason I rank 4/5 stars. You can find videos on YouTube explaining how to do this. In terms of results, this gizmo took my peak amps from the reported 78A down to 24A! Should definitely help preserve the remaining life of my AC motor. So far so good! (its only been a couple weeks since install).

Nothing bad about tech support just never had to contact them. I found the online wiring diagrams easier for me to follow then the supper detailed instructions. I only have about 20 starts so time will tell had good lasting the unit will be. That said, although a little costly I would highly recommend this, my starting amps went from 76 down between 25 and 29 amps for my 4 ton AC, so fell pretty confidant my 8000 Watt generator will work but havent tested yet. I like the Bluetooth and works very well but I would like to see about a $40 drop on the cost. It is built very will but wish it was small enough to mount inside the AC unit just to keep it out of the sun and heat.

Easy to install. Works as advertised. Seller was great, Got my order sooner than expected.

My 1990 model Rheem air conditioner compressor consistently took 91 amps to start. After installing the micro air easy start and evaluating its performance for over 500 cycles now, it averages 27 amps to start and although it claims not to lower running amps, those to have dropped from 17.5 to 15.7 on average. The significance is that now during a power outage I can start and run my central AC on either my gas powered 7000 watt generator or my solar powered 6000 watt off grid inverter. I couldn’t be happier with this product. Sunshine = Middle fingers up to the the power monopoly’s !!!

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.
