FWIW - w/o checking the model numbers of my A/Cs....
The AC I have (on my 5th) came with a 15K standard equipment from the factory.
If you wanted a second AC (an option) it was a 13.5K.
I have both ACs.
Running nothing else - starting the ACs (only one running)...
My Yam 2400is will start and run the 15K - no problem.
However, it struggles to get the 13.5K off the starter winding, but will accomplish that.
One of my "projects" was to see if the 13.5 had a hard start or not - but I hardly ever need/use it - and then only with full hookup (shore power).
Soooo - just never got a round tuit.
Although, as an add-on "option" - my guess is/was "no" hard start.
OP - make sure you use at least a 12 ga extension cord - as short as possible for your home use. Be good idea to check voltage when you start the AC.
