I appreciate the detail; I have it on my list'o'things to do this spring as we get ready for the summer season. It looks like a cheap and easy mod.
I'm guessing that the 13.5 Kbtu low-profile AC doesn't draw proportionally the same startup current as the guy's 5000 btu window unit or else we'd all be out of luck - I'm curious what it really is. Your swag of mid-to-upper 20's is probably about right. There's probably a market target of just under 30 Amps to keep circuit breakers from tripping (although I've run this off my wall power from my garage 20A circuit - hmmm I don't know how fast they really react I guess).
Anyhow, thanks again for doing the research on the kit.
