If you plan on running your AC off that type of backup, you'll need the big one. Even a really efficient central AC unit will pull 2000 - 3000 watts in a day during your hot weather months.I'm just here for the baseball.

barbers & hair salons open up here this weekend ... nobody's sure how this is going to work tho; I think I'll wait a couple of weeks for it to shake itself outIt certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostThen the smaller unit should give you plenty for a frig, home office, device charging, and a TV for three days for sure. Depending on how much excess power you generate during the day to recharge, you could be good for 4-5 days. A reasonably modern, high efficiency frig will consume about 1 kWh/day; a 55" LED TV will use about half that.---------------------------------------------

It will also be a good safety feature for our pontoon boat. And car in the winter.
Thank you for mentioning it.
