If you can do without running the oven and drier during the times you have to depend upon the generator, you'll be all right. If this is to eliminate interruptions during winter/spring storms, you can string clothes lines during outages and use a crock pot for dinners. I.e., with a little change in habits you'll have no problems. Now if this is to provide power a major portion of the year, you'll want to look at something that turns 1800 RPM, not 3600, for reduced wear and noise and increased longevity. Running an AC will require a lot more than 5600 watts -- you'll have to look on the nameplate of the AC to find what it needs. Craig > > --- > Kaleb C.
