- In this video, Clayton will show you how to install the Microair EastStart 364 into your R.V. Air Conditioner Unit. For purchasing information, please visit our website at www.hutchmount...
The Microair Easy Start 364’s microprocessor delivers the precise amount of power at the right time to get your a/c’s compressor going. Once the compressor starts your generator takes over & you have cold air on a single Honda generator.
🌟 Run (2) AC’s on a 30amp connection
🌟 Protects your AC during RV park brownouts
Is there a UA-cam Hall of Fame? Because I want to nominate this guy and his clear, easy-to-follow video - excellent work, Hutch Mountain!
Micro-Air should pay you for this video or host it on their site. I could NOT figure out their directions. This was awesome...all installed. Thank you!!
Truly professional installation with excellent instructions. Awesome 👌
This was one of the best explained videos of how to properly wire up an easy start! Well done! New subscriber here!
This should be the standard for Install Videos! Easy to follow, every step was well presented and easy to see! Ok I’ve gushed enough 😬. Thank you Hutch Mountain….
*Solid, **Fastly.Cool** and gets the job done. For RV where window-mounted air conditioning is not an option, this works very well. Easy set up, rapid cooling, and great design.*
I was reluctant to watch an 18 min video on how to install this, but its by far the best video out there, well done
ABSOLUTELY appreciate Hutch Mountain - recently they saved my bacon on a wrong order. In process of doing some research I ran across their channel - great company.
Great video! Makes install on a Dometic a piece of cake. 30 minutes. Done!
I cover the roof with HF moving quilts and then put pieces of plywood on top of them, eliminates damage to roof membrane and eliminates stress points from your knees or the heel of your hand. This is a good video, you can actually see what is going on. I have a Penguin (Plastic air boxes) and it actually proved to be a lot of work. My is a 2008 model and the foam seal is rotten and falling apart so I have to replace that. You cannot run a Penguin very long with the cover off as the cover is necessary for directing the air thru the condenser and fan. I did not even see the 3M tape until I was done mounting the box with screws and self locking nuts (I am a retired airline mechanic and the OCD for a"proper" installation kicked in.). The Micro Air videos are excruciating to watch, but yours is well done.
I bought ours at least a year ago, but finally got around to installing it this week. We suffered a hot music festival without AC last month, so that was motivation. We bought ours direct from Micro-Air on sale, so it did not come with all the nice things you include. Dang, wish I had known, but I sourced all but the drilled hole flange. I printed off the large MA instructions; they're intimidating! I found this video, watched it 2-3 times, and made my own abbreviated notes. Install was a breeze! It works GREAT!
Thank you so much!
Awesome. This is the first UA-cam video I wouldn’t change at all. A first. Well done. Concise, complete.
Love the LP conversion. And now the Easy Start. Thanks.
I bought the Easy Start last year and just got around to installing it. This video made all the difference in my confidence to do it. Between getting up and down the ladder, finding the right tools and getting them on the roof of the RV, placing boards to kneel on (with knee pads for my 74 yr old knees) it took about 2.5 hrs to do this. Each start worked - but the first one took sooo long I thought I'd screwed up. I'll be ordering the propane conversion kit next. Thank you.
Ok, I finally got around to installing mine, because of this video, I was lucky to have the same one so, it took me 30 minutes from start to finish, thanks to everyone.
Awesome video, this video was the reason I purchased my EasyStart from you guys and I wasn’t disappointed by either shipping speed or your attention to detail when it came to customers. Thanks for making this a doable project and super quick!
Thanks for the good work. I was a bit lost just looking at the instructions
Wow! I did it and it works!! Thank you! You are an amazing teacher!! I wish I could include a picture here. There was another device on the post with the one red wire where I connected my orange wire. I removed it. It had a black wire and another black wire going to the busy post with all the white wires. I'm hoping it's ok I took that off. It's a smallish round cylinder type mechanism, all enclosed but two black wires exiting. Seems that maybe the "hard start you were speaking of"
Nice clear instructions. Thanks. Other videos were a wave of the hand, bad angles and wallah its installed.
Great video! Thank you for not skipping any steps or info. I will be purchasing my easy start through Hutch Mountain because of this video
You are awesome!! You can get these EasyStarts at hutchmountain.com. We also sell on "Scamazon" at a higher price & you will pay tax. We would rather give you the discount. :) Let us know if you need help.
Thanks for video, thus was only one I found with my style of Dometic AC. I have a Polar branded soft start but it requires same connections. I would prefer 2 screws for secure mounting but your location looks better than anything I could find . Thanks again ! Update - used one screw in bottom left hole same as video, then added some aluminum angle metal across top 2 screw locations & also fastened the angle metal to top of box cover, so soft start is fastened with 3 screws.. happy camper
Oh wow, the odd of having the same exact AC unit.. what gives! thank you for this video
I used this video to help me install my Microair 364. great video and awesome product. My Honda 2200i never even grunted.
Hutch had my Easy Start in stock and I received it right away. My 13K generator easy handles the 4T AC now.
make certain that you look very carefully at the sealing area on the clear plastic cover. I have two of their Flex units that have the same defect that could compromise the seal.
Great instructions, logical order and made the installation a breeze. Thank you!
Thanks VERY much for not only providing concise directions on the wiring, but also suggestions on how to make the install better. Had never heard of Wego (sp?) connectors, but they clearly make making a solid, permanent connection easy - especially when on the roof of an RV! We will be purchasing shortly from Hutch Mountain!
Great detail and thorough explanations of the step by step process.
Excellent video! Far and away the best video on this topic, thank you for taking the time to do this! Just ordered two units and am now much more confident on how to do the work.
Amazing. You did a great job of explaining it and even when things weren't as described, you didn't let us panic, you provided the information needed to get the j0b done, with confidence. I absolutely love this video. I am taking Marine Maintenance Tech course in college and you used at least 3 processes, components, described in our course of instruction This is a great video for my class. PS: I own an Airstream and I am installing the soft-start on it. My instructor said to wait until Electrical II and bring my Airstream into class and have the class install it. Great video
Every time you say white I think about family guy lol
Just received a unit from you. This was perfect! Propane generator is next.
Just want to say THANK YOU!!! your video helped me out tremendously. Install went perfect! I appreciate the time you took to do this.
EXCELENT video, thank you for your time in the making of this, thanks again
Excellent, great tutorial for my 2020 Caravel Airstream.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! THIS WAS AWESOME! i'll stop screaming now
:-)
Awesome instructions!
Great video. Very helpful. Thanks!
A comment that this is an ideal opportunity to clean your coils
Thank you for providing a very detailed installation video. Ordered our TT and will arrive in October. I have been informed that they will be installing 2 15k GE Air conditioners. Will be ordering 2 micro EasyStarts from Hutch Mountain soon.
I wish you would do a video on the Easy Start for an air conditioner in a Forest River A-Frame trailer.
Very nice installation! I was going to ask if a 15/20 amp outlet would be enough for the learning series of starts but you covered that that no one else has! Thanks! =D=
Thanks for this. Best Video for this on youtube. JUST ORDERED ONE FROM YOUR WEBSITE. Looking forward to receiving and installing.. NICE JOB
Fantastic video
A very nice video. My issues are two of them: first one, how much does it save you in electricity; the second is one how many years does it add to your compressor? Right now you can only buy the comercial version ($376) pricing themselves out of the market. At this price it would take three to four years to pay for itself. Not much room to get ahead since we don’t know how long they last.
Excellent “how to” video which prompted me to purchase 2 Easy Starts…. Can the learning process be done using a generator or must it be done via shore power?…
Thanks
That is an awesome video. I think I can actually do it myself! Thanks! I have the Honda 2000 watt generator. Will I need to get the newer 2200 Watt?
Always use a grommet the metal will chafe and short and possibly kill your unit
Just received my Easystarts (2 each) Bluetooth from Hutch mountain. before climbing on the roof I needed to find a clear video to explain what and how to do during the install. this gives me a better picture of what tools I will need to bring with me to the roof. very clear and to the point video, loved it. just one question, you mentioned that it is specific to the compressor. If your air conditioner dies and you replace it with an identical model, can you take the easy start off the old A/C and put it on the new A/C and simply reprogram it with the 5 start-ups? Thanks almost forgot, do you mind if I share the link to this video when I publish my own video?
Never drill a hole when there is say hold there for it
Nicely done. Question though - have you installed one of these on a Furrion A/C unit? That capacitor has four contacts not just the usual three. Just curious.
So I just install the soft starter and it is wonderful. Everything went well following your video it was up and running in less than an hour. The one glitch I had was putting the capacitor back and closing the panel. Because of the length of the wires and the space I had to install the capacitor up-side-down. Is that ok? Or will the capacitor fail sooner operating in an inverted position? Should I extend the wires with butt connectors and put it in right-side-up?
Follow-up: The unit failed after only 2 months. The run wire from the unit fried for a distance of 6 inches. Had to call an AC repair tech. Contacted the company and just thought they would stand by their unit. NOPE - they said splice the wire and hope. The failure was caused by heat. It is Florida in the summer, Duh! The original wires were good in the heat, cycling the AC for 9 years, but their unit failed in 2 months. Anyway, don't trust this company or this unit. They will not support you or their product! BUYER BEWARE!!
Thanks
Can I use the generator to run the ac and program the micro air, please advise.
Thank you very much
,
Hot sharp metal shavings on a fabric roof ,, just perfect ffs
Does the new "Breeze" install the same...? 🤔
Great Video, I followed your steps and it was a successful project. Thank you for this awesome video! Question does your AC fan stays on when you run your furnace? Mine does but it never did prior the Easystart. Or is that's Normal because of the easystart? Any advice?
Where is the contactor located in the Dometic AC? It is supposed to be next to the capacitor.
I just received mine ASY-368, but didn't get any installation hardware... Inside the box was a install document and states on the document if I want a installation kit I have to order that!!!! Seriously for almost $400 that should be included...
this air unit seemed different than most...which AC is this...it seems like a newer model.
Can this power a 24K btu split type AC?
Maybe I missed it. What make/model unit are you installing it on in the video?
So Im getting a stall trouble code. Do you think cause i didnt disconnect the extra red going out? Got any ideas. Ru s great with ac power but keeps shutting off on the honda 2200i
Actually was hooked up right.
It just stalls. I gave up.
Nice product. What RV makes will this work with if its specific to a certain compressor ?
We do them ALL dometic, coleman, furion GE, etc :) Hit hutchmountain.com or give us a shout. We are happy to help!! 😃 We provide a customized install kit for easy assembly.
Its generic/smart at the same time. It’s part of the ‘learning’ process involved in running it 5 times. The processor ‘learns’ how your specific compressor starts/runs, and automatically adjusts its function to your compressor.
How long is the free install kit valid for? I am four weeks out from your video and with the link I am seeing a 10 per kit charge. I will be buying 2 units.
What gauge wire is the black jumper wire?
What model Dometic was that?
What happens if you don't do it 5 times sorry I had to ask
PTCR = ?
wHy am I saying wHat wHat wHay?
Buyer be aware....With the EasyStart you need to start your air conditioner 5 different times, while giving 3 minutes in between restarts for the compressor to equalize. With the regular "SoftStartRv" model u don't have to worry on this. Its a big deal I think...
whu-hite
Always use grammys no matter what it's a code violation in every state
You forgot to replace the OE inside grommet! Wires on metal! FYI
Watch again. This style of Dometic does not have an OEM grommet nor does it need one because the metal has smoothed edges. Thanks for looking out for us & appreciate the concern. 👍
The knockout those wires are running through, has a rolled/stamped/smooth edge. No way for the wires to get cut.
