I often wondered if shutting down the generator while the basement ACs are running can hurt the compressors in the AC units. This happens when we switch from generator power to shore power in a campground.

I always turn mine off before shutting down the genny in order to allow the compressors' head pressure bleed off.

Is this necessary?

Would it hurt anything to just shut down the generator while the ACs are running? And then when plugging back into shore power they would start up again?
