Wow - I love it when things work exactly as advertised! Measured in-rush current of our Houghton 2801 9.5k btu A/C was 34-36A prior to install. 1st iteration post install was 21.7A. 2nd start was 17.9A. Then 15.6A, and finally settled in ~ 13.5A inrush. Running current ~ 9A, and now the old EU2000i can start it up on eco mode!
