How big of an inverter would be required to start a 15k btu a/c? I'm not interested in the 12v supply debate, just need to know how many Watts to start the unit. 2500 continuous/5000 surge?
Simple. Just get a Champion 3100 Inverter. Choose the manual start about $750 or choose the electric remote start about $900. It will run a 15K A/C just fine. A smaller 13.5K A/C is even easier. Don't plan on running a microwave or hair dryer at the same time though. Just turn the A/C off for a few minutes if you need to run either. If money is no object, feel free to go for the Honda or Yamaha. All 3 are quiet at between 53db to 58db.
