Will honda 2000 start a 15k BTU air conditioner?
I need a new a/c. All the tech can get is a 15k BTU unit. I currently have a 13.5k BTU unit. Will the eu2000i start a 15k unit? What if I install the EasyStart?

This is the kind of question that is tough to answer because
Sometimes they do, Sometimes they don't.
When I did my first upgrade from 13.5 to 15 KBTU turns out the running current was identical.. Starting i'm not so sure of (I think it took a bit more) but with a soft start they sucked about the same. BUT my 2nd one takes 1/2 amp (About 50 watts) more and with a Honda 2000.. you may well not have the spare half amp (might be 2 or 3 amps starting) plus it starts much "Harder".
So.. you won't know till you try.
