I have one on my home A/C...Nothing crazy has happened yet. I did reduce the amp draw from about 70 amps to 30...7 year old unit. So wouldn't expect anything. Just did it to be able to run the house on a smaller generator.

Installed one just last weekend on my 4-ton home unit. Inrush amps went from 117 to 45. I put it in "default ramp" mode and the inrush was 19 amps, but their website says don't do that

It was relatively easy to install, considering I'm not very good with electricity and have zero technical experience with hvac. My AC wiring didn't look anything like the youtube videos and I figured it out

Running home AC on a slightly undersized generator? It could have benefits during power outages, otherwise physics state that you get out (with a slight loss) what you put in. RV's EZ start let you run a smaller generator by taking away the initial surge.
