Case # 20705
This is the second burn out I have had in the last year. I have done every thing you have asked me to do to resolve this issue. The white pigtail is becoming shorter and shorter as you can see in recent photo 7/23/2024 I hade talked to at micro air this morning that helped me. She said someone would get back to me as I explained the situation. There is a problem somewhere, and I really need help to resolve this what could be wrong. Really need someone to respond in technical support .

Hi Joseph, thank you for the feedback, we have noted that while our product is functional, the start-up amps may not be as low as desired. We have reopened the case for a follow-up call with our support team. Thank you for your continued support.

Living in Houston TX you need AC, and a backup generator. During hurricane Beryl we were without power for almost two weeks. The generator working, but definitely bogged down when we ran the 3.5t unit (only ran one unit). Just had two flex soft starts installed on 3.5 and 5t Carrier units. They are audibly smoother. Fingers crossed.

Awesome Device!
My A/C company installed this on my Ruud 3.5 ton A/C today. My unit had a LRA starting draw of 110 amps. After the Easy Start Flex went through the learning process the starting amp on his meter showed 33 amps the microair app concurred. Waiting for my 11,000 watt inverter generator to arrive, should run the unit without issue!

Works Great w/ 3-ton A/C and a Genset
I installed the EasyStart Flex in my 3-yr old, 3-ton HVAC compressor. The work took me about 90-minutes start to finish. The EasyStart Flex fit nicely under the corner-cover where the electrical components are. This house also has a 22kw Generac backup generator, and it could barely* start the A/C compressor. I couldn't measure the actual load demand but per the data label on the Compressor unit, the LRA current load is 81.4 amps. The image attached here shows two actual load snap shots, post-install, from the (wonderful!) EasyStart App. There are two screen shots. On left, is the EasyStart when it is supplied power from street utilities. The HVAC compressor now draws max of 20.8 amps (!!). On right, is the same EasyStart when it is supplied power from the Home Generator. The compressor now pulls 26.2 amps, a reduction of more than 65% from the rated LRA current load of 81.4 amps. I'm not surprised it's a little higher on geneset (technical reasons for this). Last, and while subjective, I note what others have noted - the compressor seems to run more quietly, post-installation, than it did before install.

Awesome solution
Easy installation, this was installed on existing 3 ton unit that is 24 years old, have been monitoring starts for 11 days now, this is a product that delivers all that is advertised. Overall reduction in rush amperage of 56%. 65 to 28.3 amps reduction…..Quieter, no dimming of lights, works excellent with a small portable generator, MADE IN USA what is not to like…..For me to say that I am extremely pleased is actually an understatement….getting ready to order another one for my good friends who were unaware that a product like this exists…..I am originally from Hightstown and am now in NC, proud to give you my business….

Reduced Inrush Amps from 138-->28!
I got this to reduce max amps on my 5Ton American Standard HVAC as part of a solar battery backup project. The goal was to get my max inrush under 50 Amps, and ideally under 30. In HVAC, I learned the term is LRA which stands for locked rotor amps. I consider myself pretty handy, but not at all a pro. I had to watch a couple of youtube videos a few times, but the install was very straightforward once all the wires were identified, and connectors were obtained. The app is primitive, but gets the job done. I went though the trouble of getting an amp meter to take measurements because I'm a skeptic. But the App will give you the max amperage at start up without having to buy a clamp meter capable of measuring inrush.

Better than expected
Home heat pump (Heil HCH6 3 ton) LRA prior to installation 85; after installation 19.4. Tech support thru Messenger was outstanding! My igen11000dfc with 50Amp connection handles the load now like a champ. Thank you Micro Air

LRA Down 50 amps! 1 yr Review
Installed my soft start on 5/2023 on a 15 yr old Payne 2.5 ton unit with an LRA of 73 a. My main objective was to run it with my generator with 9500kw starting. Not only did it start up with the gen but the startup is mulch quieter; no more 'rumble'. Also, found my contactor was trashed: brittle plastic that just fell apart. My LRA now runs between 20-40a with a total of 2500+ starts. Not sure of way the variance; usually starts at approx 30+ amps. Overall very satisfied. Install was easy with great cust support. Also have the Easystart on my RV. I can start it with my 2500kw Westinghouse Invertor gen.
