More great ideas. Thanks.



How is the Honda working out for you? I heard one running while powering a heat pump in a trailer we were looking at and I couldn't believe how quiet the Honda was.

I haven't used the Honda yet in the heat of summer. I've started my air conditioner a few times on warm days and it seemed to do fine. Once I had the A/C on, turned it off and then turned it back on quickly and the Honda could not start the compressor. But that is going to be a problem with a lot of generators.



I waited about a minute and the Honda started the A/C with no problem. I have the 13,500 A/C.



When I get some warm weather use, I'll post comments on my web site.



But so far I really like the Honda.



Thanks,

Bobby

I think you will find that is hard to do even when plugged into the AC. What happins is the compressor is trying to start against a high pressure on its output (high side) line. I run a electronic thermostat which has a timer that prevents the AC from starting for a minute or so after it has just been running.



I fried a relay in my old Duo therm down the outerbanks one day (hottest day of the year) trying to start the compressor when it had just been running.
