It has the size to run your loads without having to worry about staging them on. It can also handle most AC units with a soft start. I will be buying this one to replace what I have now) ✅ 9500 Running Watts - https://amzn.to/3SvhGok (I would buy this generator if I was planning on installing a 50A inlet box. This generator will back up your whole home. A 50A installation is the same process but with a larger wire, a 50A inlet and a 2-pole 50A breaker.) ✅ 30A Generator Connection Cord (25 feet). https://amzn.to/3WM5z91 All links shared in video descriptions/comments are affiliate links that help support the channel with no extra cost to you.
