This video we find out if the harbor freight Predator 9000 generator will power a whole house. Our house has a 4 ton 14 seer ac, electric water heater, dryer, well, the question is if a storm rolls through will this bad boy power my whole house and now make us miss a beat?
Make sure you hard wire this into your panel at home. Make sure you buy the big wheel kit if you ever plan to move the generator. This is very heavy near 200lbs.

There's one major problem with your whole video you do not have an interlock on your fuse box your video should be taken down because you are hooking your generator to your house incorrectly and can cause death or fire and it should not be shown to other people giving them the wrong person on what to do

Just run what you need,to take unnecessary load off the generator AND prevent sagging/low voltage damage to your appliances😎

I got a predator 9000. learn ohms law and will greatly help you figure out what you can run. i promise it will not run a 240 stove, water heater and dryer at the same time. amps multiplied by voltage will give you watts.for example a 20 amp water heater times 240 volts = 4800 watts alone. Then add your clothes dryer an avg of 10 amps times 240 volts 2400+4800, now your at 7200 watts. no way that 30 amp a/c 240 volt is gonna run now your're at 14,400 watts. just trying to help you. most service is 100 amp times 240 volts. you'll either destroy the generator or your home trying to pull those loads.

@suttonbogedain5874

the key to this is to not overload it. Refrigerators, freezers, and dehumidifiers run intermittantly, not full time. The biggest draws are the A/C and electric stove and electric dryer. If you learn your house and how to balance the loads, you can run everything. Just don't try to dry clothing in the electric dryer while running a 450 degree oven. (retired electrician). I have a silimlar set up in my own home and wood shop.

When ever you are done,turn the fuel valve off let the fuel get used up by the carburator

@MrFriesz Год назад

A/C and any kind of electric heat will be your biggest loads , you should always shut off your main in the panel before connecting it to a generator especially if you don't have utility power or generator go bang when your utility turns on the power. You seriously have to go into conservation mode if you have a disaster like IAN. Buy a small window AC and plan on cooling a small room, Use your gas barbeque to cook.

Shows uses 8gal gas @ 50% load in 13hrs... So would estimate at least 10gal. gas per day or more.... One week that's approaching 100gals! Wow hope gas station has power and has gas, might not be the case? Otherwise storing that much fuel that's a serious issue

How did the generator 30A socket supply enough for the a/c (more than 30A I’m guessing?) good vid

@Paul_Dalangpan 3 года назад

Thanks for doing this. Amazing. Can you please confirm that you used the 30 AMP inlet with a 30 amp cord? What you showcased here I think is really cool. I THINK that 30 amp cord was maxed out though and I hope it didn't get warm or hot. Again, thank you.

You need an interlock by code.

We ran our whole house on an 8750 watt Predator for 12 days after hurricane Laura in 2020. 3 ton ac, fridge, freezer, washer/dryer, stove and all extras. That Predator never checked up.

I loved seeing the ac unit run on the generator

@jeffblalock4630 14 часов назад

Water is one of the main ones as well. It did run the well pump?

@michaelzimmerman9221 2 года назад

Awesome, I’ve got the same generator, now I know it will run what I need!

@jimb6017 Год назад

I’m not sure what state you live in but if I’m not correct, I think you need an interlocking switch between the main and the generator switch. Thanks for the video. I’m looking to get the same generator.

@Pk3_Garage 3 года назад

Very nice video. We have this same generator that can power our entire house. We have a 10 circuit manual transfer switch. Here are a few things I observed and you should take note of:
