Do the new inverter type system eliminate big inrush current?
My 30 year old Lennox should be replaced soon. But it still works!
Anyways. On thing about the old beater is that you cannot run it on a generator. The inrush current is huge.
When I pick out a new A/C, can looking at inverter based ones fix that?

Inrush is reduced.
However inverter style units tend to be very picky about the cleanliness of the power they receive. Many will need an inverter style generator to function.

I listened to an episode of HVAC School with Brian Orr that discussed a product to reduce inrush current on systems powered by generators. The title is Hard Start vs. Easy Start. Aug. 25 is the date of the episode.
It sounds like just what is needed in this instance.

WHAT MFG. ARE YOU or might you pursue ?
You need to contact a local representative in order to obtain SPECIFIC Information on a particular model(s)?
Compare the noted Starting Currents to get an Order- of- Magnitude sense about the limited amount of inrush current.
