Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Smooth RV Start™ Compressor Saver, compatibility, and support
Pricing varies by dealer and location. Contact us through the form below to get pricing information and find an authorized dealer in your area. Most dealers offer installation services as well.
The SSRV2 is compatible with most RV A/C systems. It’s designed to work with standard 115V 60Hz systems commonly found in RVs, motorhomes, campers, and tiny homes. For specific compatibility questions, please contact our technical support team.
One of the main benefits of the SSRV2 is that it allows you to use a smaller generator than you would normally need. By reducing inrush current by up to 70%, many RV owners can use generators that are 30-50% smaller than typically required. Some can even run two A/C units on a 30 amp hookup.
The SSRV2 comes with a comprehensive 3-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is backed by ICM, a trusted name in HVAC/R technology used by OEMs worldwide. Full warranty details are included with your purchase.
While the SSRV2 is designed with a straightforward installation process, we recommend professional installation to ensure proper setup and maintain warranty coverage. The installation involves electrical connections to your A/C compressor and should be performed by a qualified technician.
The SSRV2 uses soft-start ICM 5-2-1® technology to gradually ramp up power delivery to your A/C compressor. This eliminates the sudden jolt of full power that causes loud, jarring startup sounds. The result is a much quieter, smoother A/C start every time.
Yes. By significantly reducing the electrical stress and mechanical wear during startup—the most demanding moment for your compressor—the SSRV2 minimizes long-term wear and tear. This can substantially extend your compressor’s operational life and reduce the likelihood of costly repairs.
ICM 5-2-1® is a patented In-Rush Current Management technology developed by ICM Controls. It’s trusted by HVAC/R industry OEMs worldwide and specifically designed to reduce the electrical demand spike that occurs when compressors start up. This proven technology has been adapted for RV applications in the SSRV2.
