Soft Starters

​

MES Group's soft start expertise is backed by more than two decades of hands-on industry experience. Master electrician Bob Cramer was part of the team that helped bring soft start technology into the U.S. market for generator applications more than 20 years ago. Today, that experience continues to shape the application knowledge, product guidance and technical support MES Group provides to contractors, dealers, installers, and equipment owners.

 

AIRGO helps compressors and motors start smoothly on utility, generator, inverter or battery power. Built-in protection features help minimize startup noise, voltage fluctuations and light flicker. AIRGO technology supports residential air conditioning, heat pumps, well pumps, refrigeration systems, marine equipment, RV air conditioners and other demanding applications.

Soft Starter Solutions for AC Systems, Motors and Mobile Power

​

AIRGO supports residential, commercial, industrial and mobile equipment across the United States.  The team at MES helps dealers, electricians, installers and HVAC professionals select soft start solutions based on voltage, motor type, current requirements, power source and operating conditions.

​

Soft Starter for Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps

​

Designed for residential and commercial AC systems and heat pumps, AIRGO supports smoother operation while helping extend equipment service life. AIRGO manages the initial electrical demand created when the AC starts, reducing inrush current, light flicker, startup noise and stress on connected components.

​

Soft Starter for AC Motors and Compressors

​

AIRGO gradually controls startup power instead of allowing AC motors and compressors to draw full inrush current immediately. This smoother startup helps reduce mechanical strain, electrical stress and voltage fluctuations across compatible motors, compressors, well pumps, refrigeration systems and AC equipment, giving contractors nationwide a practical option for demanding motor applications.

​

Soft Starter for RV Air Conditioners

​

AIRGO for an RV AC reduces the initial power surge created when the compressor starts, helping compatible air conditioners operate more reliably from generators, inverters and limited campground electrical connections. RV owners, dealers and service professionals can use AIRGO to reduce startup noise, nuisance shutdowns and power fluctuations in motorhomes, travel trailers and other mobile cooling applications.

​

Soft Starter for Generators and Backup Power Systems

​

AIRGO is the only soft starter that is purpose-built for generator and backup power applications, reducing the startup current required by connected air conditioners, heat pumps, compressors and motors. By lowering inrush current during startup, AIRGO helps residential standby generators, portable generators, RV generators and other backup power systems manage demanding motor and compressor loads more effectively. For generator installations supporting HVAC, compressor or motor loads, AIRGO provides a purpose-built solution for reducing startup demand and helping the generator handle those loads more effectively.

​

Electrical Load Management When Adding EV Charging

​

Adding EV charging can increase the electrical demand on a home or commercial service. AIRGO does not control the EV charger itself. It instead reduces startup current from compatible AC systems, heat pumps, compressors and AC motors sharing the same electrical service. This can support a more balanced approach to electrical load management when new high-demand equipment is added.

​

Why Choose an AIRGO Soft Starter?

​

Contractors and equipment owners often compare AIRGO with other soft starter options. Product selection may depend on equipment specifications, available power, installation requirements, protection features and access to technical support.

​

AIRGO combines advanced soft start technology with application-focused engineering assistance, giving dealers, installers and electricians a dependable option for air conditioning, heat pump, RV AC, refrigeration, generator, EV charging and AC motor applications.
