i'm hoping someone here has tried one of these units. it's a soft start kit for the a/c compressor. the idea is to reduce the amps required on start up and therefore the size generator needed to run the a/c system. the reduction is advertised as anywhere from 50% to 70% depending on the unit. there's a video online of a guy whose in rush or LRA amps went from 70+ to 20. i've been putting off buying a home generator because i've been told i needed at least 17kw and the generac people said i needed 24kw. with this unit on my a/c unit it works out to about 8kw. hard to believe but if true it would make a whole house generator doable for me.
