Air conditioner compressor starts up and the lights temp dim

[Michael.J]

When my Air conditioner compressor starts up the house lights dim momentarily. Will a soft start module correct this?

It will help.

How much it helps depends a great deal on the specifics of your situation and setup.

Yes it would. The only regret I have after in installed the MicroAir is why didn't I do it sooner.

Heck this happens when I'm on utility power. Makes my one cheapo light fixture go a bit berserk too. Good times.

I'll throw my vote in for the soft start. I put one on each of my HVACs and I never notice anything when they start up. I agree with the sentiment that I should have done it sooner.

Will it eliminate the flicker? Maybe, maybe not. Will it be a good investment, anyway? Yup!
