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

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.

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!

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 .

This device reduced my inrush current that allows me run a 4 ton central unit, a 3 ton central unit and a 2hp well pump on a 15kw Generac generator. The Hutch Mountain customer service was outstanding.

A compact and easy to install unit. Tech support was very helpful and you can actually talk to a real person! This is a simple 4 wire install and the directions with pictures were great! Im glad I bought this unit!

nice part;waiting too have installed;

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 !!!

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.

Buy it - Install it - and forget it. Its that easy
