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

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.

nice part;waiting too have installed;

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 device reduced my 3.5 ton central AC startup current to 18.5A. The LRA on my unit is 79A. Not bad! The lights no longer dim when the compressor starts and there is no loud bang. Great product!

Ill admit to being a bit skeptical of the claims about the reduction in surge current. I have a 3.5 ton carrier unit, and the instructions on their website were spot on. The LRA on my compressor is listed at 108A. I was able to measure 77A with my cheap clamp meter. On the first startup, the max current was 44A. One the second it was 38A, and by the last startup Im now just at 32A. You can hear it when youre beside the unit. Its no longer a bang type noise, as it is a slow humming spin up. Thats allowed me to run the core of my house from a portable generator. I wish I knew about them sooner, and I wish they were integrated into all units from the manufacturer.

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.

Residential Home AC

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

This thing came without quick connects or ANYTHING to set it up. Customer Support didnt reply when I requested help on what size quick connectors, size of mounting screws, etc. This is very expensive and Im really disappointed that I now have to go searching for the parts to install. **UPDATE: Customer Support contacted me the next day & provided an install kit and instructions on wire connections.
