 Emergency Generator Guide
Large Emergency Generators
Restoring Power to Multiple Rooms in Your Home
Let’s put things into prospective. Most older or smaller homes have 100-amp service.
In other words, the maximum amount of electricity coming from the utility into the house is 100 amps.
In reality, most homes never draw all 100 amps of power. They often fluctuate somewhere above 50 amps, depending on how many appliances are running.
Large emergency generators produce 30-amp worth of electricity. So, in theory, they can power a good portion of an older or smaller home.
The biggest challenge for these machines are central air conditioners. They simply lack enough surge wattage to start a 4- or 5-ton central air conditioner.
If you really need air conditioning, we suggest either (a) buying a larger generator or (b) buying a cheap window air conditioner to run only during power outages.
