Thank you in advance,

Well they’re smaller units and the energy management system certainly will help manage start up loads and maybe even sequence the start up or operation of the two units. Possibly they take turns actually cooling though I don’t think that would be very satisfactory for most people. In any event it probably is sort of marginal. Running your water heater on electric and using the microwave might be iffy. On the other hand you’ll probably only need both ACs during the heat of the day and you might well be able to manage your other demands accordingly. But all of that is a guess. Try before you buy!!
