Just getting opinions on soft starts for air conditioners whether they are a good idea or not. I have a 2009 Damon Daybreak with Coleman air conditioners. I recently had to have my generator repaired. It was not handling the initial amps it takes at the initial start up of the air conditioners. It turned out my Generac generator has a belt inside and was wore out. It could be heard slipping as it bogged down and would quit putting out power. Now, it handles air conditioner start ups just fine and runs much better.
However, I was wondering if a soft start kit on the air units would be beneficial in the long run for the life of the generator. I was told my air conditioners may already have the soft start kits in them. I also was told Coleman no longer is in business. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
