Thread: Off-grid air conditioner advice

I am trying to determine the maximum size of an AC unit that I could safely start with the following setting without permanently turning off the switch. The SEER 10 unit with a capacity of 18,000 BTU is expected to consume about 1800 watts. But this does not explain the power surge when the compressor is turned on - I do not know how many watts it will be.
Thoughts? Do you have any recommendations for specific AC units?

The mini connectors have a minimal voltage surge, as they are balanced 3-phase motors driven by direct current using an extravagant ECM soft start. If you have doubts that you will be able to do this, then it is better to contact specialists.

Hello. I don't really fumble for all this, so I often use the help of experts (why should I bother my head with this information). And such experts for me have become airconservicingsingapore.com. Excellent service for repairing air conditioners. Perhaps the best in the USA, Do not think that this is an advertisement. I'm just sharing my personal impressions. I own offices and apartments everywhere. And you need to take air conditioners everywhere. Especially for such cases, I consult with specialists from there and they advise me how to do the right thing.

I'm sure your electrical system will not go down if your AC works constantly. However, this is not a good idea at all from my perspective. First of all, it will consume a lot of electricity, which I think is a waste of money. Secondly, the AC air is not beneficial for your health so, in this situation getting fresh air will be a better idea. Still, I'm not a professional in this field. I've just shared my opinion. But if you want you can speak with some experienced guys in this field. You can easily contact the heating and air companies and ask them your questions.
