Install the ACS4W40 on my Home AC unit. The Results were incredible. A 88% drop in inrush current. Very happy with the results. Active Controls Is Awesome. Thomas is the Best!

Works straight for the air conditioner on the houseboat. Single RV Air. When the AC cycles it seems much easier on the generator. Whenever I had a question, the guy always called back. Great customer service. I hope they find me a refurbished small unit for 120 V.

I have the 50 Amp soft start and it will run 2 of my AC's when I'm on a 30 amp service. Also I can run all 3 of my AC's when I connect my two generators in parallel. I tried to run them with just a power protector and it would throw a breaker on one of the generators. I'm using 2 Champion 4500 watt generators. This device will really help when I need to boon dock. I am constantly trying to let others know they don't have to install soft starts on their AC's anymore. I've been using the product for 6 months with no issues.

The unit installed easily by AC tech. Customer service is awesome. The SoftStart is in preparation to install a backup system.

I do NOT have any affiliation with Active Controls but this plug-in soft start is nothing less than great. As part of the Whole House kit, it allows for us to use everything and never skip a beat. Milton was like nothing ever happened. I also just had to know if it would start my 5-ton AC - AND IT DID, using a Duromax XP13000HX on gasoline. It did not give the same reduction as the wired in ACS4W40 (of 76-77%) but it still worked. The takeaway from that is I fully believe that the ACS50PS will work with smaller AC units, saving lots of money for those that must pay for someone to install a soft start AND still be able to use the washer, and dishwasher, etc. Here is a BONUS - the ACS50PS comes with a 5 YEAR WARRANTY, not 12 months. The ACS50PS also has EMS that allows the user to see how much power is being used and on which leg, frequency, voltage, etc. Originally designed and marketed for RV use, it works extremely well in a residential power outage situation. This thing is the Cat's Meow! Thank you Active Controls LLC!

The whole home kit is the cats meow! Almost 80% on my 5-ton with the ACS4w40 (31a from 122a). The plug-in unit handles everything else. It alone is a hell of a value, with 2 soft starts in one and monitor and surge protection. Your mileage may vary but that ACS50 plug-in was even able to start my 5-ton AC. I know fon certain that if a friend or family member was in need I would be able to bring my ACS50PS and even run their smaller AC units. I highly recommend their products. They’re serving to none. Be prepared for the next storm season. It’s worth every penny ! The wife was never phased that we were on backup power for 3 days.

Great buy!! Buy the two together "dog bone" special was a great price and a good deal. Got one for myself and a family member. Good sturdy quality item! Thanks. D.P. :)
