AC easy start.

What is the best easy start module to add to your ac so 1 honda 2200i generator can run it>

  • It will run it with a high start capacitor but with the 2200 it is at the top end of its capability and would not recommend that. That generator will not last long because it is over working. I have a Coleman Mach 8 15,000 btu with a high start capacitor. Runs hard with the 2200, perfect with a second in tandem.

    Will it allow a 2,200 watt genny to power a 15.3 AC? I thought only the polar cubs could run on the 2,200 watt generator.

  • I don’t have it, but believe the MicroAir Easystart kit on Amazon to be the “best” but not cheap ($300). Not sure that that will guarantee you can run your AC on a 2K genny though, especially if at any altitude.
  • Try this...Micro-Air...

  • Puzzled by what an "easy start A/C" because I have not seen an a/c, that don't start by pushing a button -- unless broken or without/insufficient power.

    And most modern a/C now have remote controls. So it's easy as you get where you can turn it on or off from your bed.

    You need to determine to requirement to cool off your RV to be able to know the rating of your a/c if it matches that of your genny.
