Mine sure would. But let's go completely worst case, you have no friends, no neighbors who want to help. Nine gallons equals sixty hours of power, if you leave a gallon in the cart. Or, in preparation you realize, after some self assessment, your plight as a loner without a friend within sight, buy two more gas cans. Now you are set at 120 hours, 40 minutes of power. |

"There is never a situation where you will need a 22,000 watt generator, never. Millions of homes in the US have 100 amp service, that's 12,000 watts to you and I. While it is true that most homes in TV have 200 amp service you don't need it." From previous post.
I was concerned about his comments above, so I called Accurate Power. The most common stand by unit for most homes with 1 a/c unit is the Generac 22KW. The county which issues the permits goes off the start up amps used for the home. This unit is a 100 amp which is in actually only 84 amp if running on natural gas. The county uses the start up amp on your a/c unit not the running amp which is a big difference. Mine was running 14 amp, but start up 68 amp. The county then adds in all other appliances and other electrical draws as if everything was on. I told them I never have everything on, but that is how the county does it for permitting. I asked other people who have this unit and they said they didn't even know the power went out the transition was so smooth. It may not be for everyone, but I will be glad to have one! |
