We ran a test to see if our generator would run our house AND central air. Did it work? Check out the video!

We have a four-year-old 3-ton Trane. I'm having the 30amp interlock set up installed tomorrow. It's the lowest cost and simplest way to connect your generator to the house IMO. I'm using a 13,500/8,000 watt generator for the juice as back-up/emergency power. I'm also having a soft start installed on the AC unit which appears to reduce start-up wattage around 70% or more. This way, I don't have to worry about the power surge from the AC start-up. For $200 installed, I honestly don't understand why anyone wouldn't want a soft start on their AC. It's easier on the compressor and reduces electricity usage. From the people I've spoken with and the videos I've seen, all I see are pros and no cons.

Nice helpful video. Thank you for sharing.

@OURGREATHORSES Год назад

What size is your AC? Amps? Tons? BTUs? Thx.

@DeadboneAdams-jz7zr 12 дней назад

We ran our entire house on an 8750 watt Predator for 12 days after hurricane Laura back in 2020. 3 ton central ac, washer/dryer, fridge, freezer, electric stove, radio, television, egg beater, disco ball-that generator never checked up.

@nhartigan72 5 месяцев назад

Great video, but I have the same question as some of the others. How many tons is the AC unit? You can usually find out by looking at the model number.

@jaredfisher5047 Год назад

Got the same one, she runs the AC compressor, and can even handle the well pump along with lights. Great generator for the price.

Love this generator!

@anthonyvitale6391 Год назад

Can you show me how you did that why that's connected to the generator with that special tension cord please

@vincenzo2068 Год назад

You said your hot water tank “put a hurting” on the generator. What kind of hot water tank do you have? Great videos, by the way.

Can you show me how you put the wire to the plug in the oanel

@MattCoversTech 2 дня назад

Do you think adding a soft start module to your A/C outdoor unit would be helpful? I heard it stops that huge draw when first kicking on.

@GatoGamingSi 15 дней назад

Did you have to add a softstart on your AC unit?

@danslawncare8594 Год назад

Do you have elc heat or gas.

@njm5991 Год назад

I bought all the stuff but haven't hooked it up yet. What breaker switch is that with the galvanized thing over the main shutoff?

@TheCookFamilyHomestead Год назад

It's called an interlock switch. It won't allow both to be on at the same time. I put a link in the description. Thanks for watching!

@ralphyost7016 Месяц назад

The most useful information is to tell your viewers the size of your air conditioner. How many tons is it? a 3.5 ton AC requires a 12.25KW genset because of the initial start load.

@freebehindbars8654 24 дня назад

Get a Micro Air Soft Start kit and you can easily operate on this unit.

@lonnyharris6464 19 дней назад

@@freebehindbars8654if I install a soft start on my 3.5 ton AC unit, will a 1000W generator be big enough to run it?

@MRTLEW01 19 дней назад

@@lonnyharris6464 I seriously doubt that!! You will need something bigger than that. 1000w Gen is good for a 5000btu window unit

@CHiTO316 2 месяца назад

I have a similar power Champion generator and when i turned on the 30A AC breaker i started feeling air inside the house. The issue I’m seeing is that 3 hours later and the house has not dropped a single degree. Is this normal? Is there a second breaker for the Freon or something?

@GmaticLeon 27 дней назад

Fans are on but Your compressor is probably not coming on.

@vincenzo2068 Год назад

Also, how many ton is your air conditioner unit? Thanks.

@porkchop3656 Год назад

This is my question as well. You hear it bog down when it starts but then it seems fine, so I'm curious as to the tonnage of the unit. Would be nice to know the start/running wattage as well.

@user-th8sz1wu3o 2 месяца назад

Use a micro air soft start

@jesusguzmanaraguz7736 Год назад

In case of an emergency, how long would you say can the generator safely be ran continuous? By the way great video!

@TheCookFamilyHomestead Год назад

You can run it as long as needed. A tank of gas will run for approximately 12 hours straight as long as it is not running at max output.

@Mr.Fotingo-qf9hk 11 месяцев назад

How long does it run on a full tank?

@Pk3_Garage 11 месяцев назад

It depends on the load. To give you a point of reference, at 50% load, 3625 continuous running watts, you will get 13 hrs. run time on a full tank of gas. (8 gal.)

@johndesade1787 25 дней назад

Do I have to add a "soft start?" I have the same generator.

@MoonEFresh 24 дня назад

I would. I have a 9000 watt predator and a 3.5 ton. My AC and lights and all the light wattage stuff runs easy.

@MoonEFresh 24 дня назад

Wouldn’t start my AC before the soft start. Now it does

But what if you run out of fuel? And how can you possibly store in a fuel for a long period of time? These are all questions I have no clue how to solve so I'm hoping you do
