Seems to me that is the biggest reason its difficult to run two A/Cs off 30 amps.

The Easy Start guy may fix that (and also kill the startup noise which my wife hates). |
I should have been more direct with post #2. Sorry. However, your title was about running 2 A/Cs on 30 Amps, not about soft starters.
Again, I apologize.
Soft start allows starting two larger A/Cs, but why would you want to on a rig small enough that it came from factory with a single 15,000? You might be able to get them started, but then there is so little power left you can’t do anything else.
If you settle for about 50% cooling capacity increase, then I’m not sure you need the soft start anyway, so why spend the money? Granted I had not considered the start-up noise which I often avoid by setting thermostat very cold so A/C doesn’t turn off.
Anyway, since no one had responded to thread, I shared news on additional Power Saver models because they may play a role in powering 2 A/Cs from 30A service.
