I am replacing my 14 year old Carrier Performance system with a new A/C and furnace. The AC is a
Performance series 17 SEER 2-stage 5-Ton AC unit.
My previous Carrier AC was a 4-Ton, single stage.
Tesla installed a soft start in September 2020 with my new Tesla 36 kw solar and 3 PWs.
My question is whether I should have the installers move the soft start I have to the new AC?
Does the new higher tonnage ( 5 tons vs 4 tons currently) matter, i.e. will the soft start be undersized?
Is a soft start needed with a “two-stage “ AC unit?
Thank you for your help in advance.
