How do you keep from freezing in the cold or sweltering in the heat – with little to no power?
Most central air conditioner/heat pump units need a huge burst of electricity at start-up, and most backup power sources aren’t big enough to start them.
As a result, you freeze in winter or swelter in the heat waiting for the main power to be restored.
In fact, when used in emergencies where people rely on home medical equipment and comfort-controlled environments, it could be a lifesaver!
A SoftStart Home soft starter, when installed on a air conditioner or heat pump, works with backup generators, solar-energized battery power, and other auxiliary power systems to operate more devices than previously possible.
A SoftStart Home soft starter on a central air conditioner/heat pump lets you stay comfortable by allowing the A/C and heat pump to run when using backup power. How?
SoftStart Home reduces A/C and heat pump startup demand by up to 70%!
It won’t MAKE power, but it allows you to START and
RUN your cooling or heating with a small generator or
battery backup power.
SoftStart Home™ lets you:
– Keep cool or warm with A/C or heat pump
– Run the refrigerator, freezer, well pump, lights and other vital devices
– Live safely and comfortably until the main power is restored
Reduces startup power demand by up to 70%.
Delivers more efficient cooling and heating startup with main and backup power sources. Helps keep power demand down during peak periods.
No more loud knocks, vibrations or dim lights during startup.
Reduces stress on compressor; extends A/C and heat pump life.
Best warranty in the industry – 3 years with online registration.
Compatible with 115V-240V air conditioners worldwide; up to 6 tons (72,000 BTUs).
Works with most residential and commercial A/C and heat pump units.
SoftStart Home soft starters easily fit within the A/C or heat pump enclosure (electrical box cover is removed for illustrative purposes).

Introducing the SoftStartHome™ Soft Starter For Improved Central A/C Power Performance
Without that initial jolt, your central A/C won’t knock or shudder at every startup! It starts smoothly and quietly, letting you stay cool and relaxed day and night.
By drastically reducing startup electric demand, SoftStart Home also prevents frequent overheating of motor windings which can wear out the compressor and require premature replacement.
A SoftStartHome soft starter operates air conditioners and heat pumps equally whether on utility power or solar-energized battery power.
SoftStart Home™ lets you:
A SoftStart Home soft starter will drastically improve the operation of your A/C or heat pump.
How exactly does it do that? The SoftStart Home reduces A/C and heat pump startup demand by up to 70%!
Without that initial jolt, your central A/C unit or heat pump will minimize any knocking or shuddering on every start! It will start quietly, and keep you at the temperature you want – day and night.
Having a SoftStart Home installed keeps your central A/C or heat pump running at peak efficiency in 3 situations. See the tabs below for more details.

I have put a few soft starts in before for customers who
have generator applications, but I just put this on my own home AC unit, and I am experiencing a quieter unit and seeing a monthly reduction on my utility bill every month during peak use. Incredible product!

I have a 4-ton Amana and as our unit is getting older, it has gotten a lot louder. It’s right outside our kitchen window and next to our patio where we entertain. We’re so happy to have the SoftStart Home installed because it made our unit instantly quieter. We also have solar and are considering adding batteries, so our unit is now prepared for that as well.”

I have a 3-ton Lennox AC that I installed the SoftStart
Home on. It was a quick installation, super easy to follow
the instructions, looks nice and clean, and I couldn’t be happier
