My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Condenser Soft Starter

3 years ago

I've read where some home owners are installing a soft starter on their condenser units. Reasons being, less load on portable generators and less load on the compressor. And so, I'm looking for advice on this subject. Is it worth the money to put one in or not?
