Problem: LARRY CAN’T RUN HIS A/C IN HURRICANE HELENE

Larry’s 2200-watt generator couldn’t handle the load of his air conditioner, especially not during a hurricane when every minute of comfort counts. He wanted to fire up his living room AC to keep things cool inside, but his small generator was not able to power it without stalling.

Solution: THE SOFTSTARTUP SAVES LARRY’S A/C FROM STALLING

Luckily, Larry had a trick up his sleeve: the SoftStartUp. This device was a game-changer. Typically, when Larry’s air conditioner starts up, it draws a massive surge of power that overwhelms the generator.

With the SoftStartUp, Larry no longer has to fear his generator stalling when running his A/C on a 2200 watt generator. The SoftStartUp reduces the in-rush current and takes stress off of your compressor.

Larry hooked up his soft startup to his 2200-watt generator and crossed his fingers. Could this setup actually keep his AC running through the storm without tripping the generator? There was only one way to find out.

Result: LARRY’S A/C RUNS SMOOTHLY EVEN DURING A HURRICANE

The air conditioner started up smoothly, no stalling, no sputtering, and most importantly—no overheating the generator.

Larry was able to keep his RV comfortable and cool—even with a 2200-watt generator—and ride out the storm without breaking a sweat.

In a storm like Hurricane Helene, it is a comfort for Larry to know he can run his A/C even in low power or emergency situations. “Here’s the trick: how we’re able to use either one of our A/Cs on a 2200 watt generator, and that’s using the soft start up right there,” Larry said.
