Grandma got spooked from the Texas cold and blackouts and wants a generator to run her furnace. Must operate autonomous which pretty much must be a whole house unit with auto transfer switch. Might as well do it right and size to run the AC unit during summer hurricanes.
Please confirm my sizing calculations for the 14A running, 77A locked compressor. It appears the absolute minimum is 7.5KW however the Generac charts suggest a 16KW which seems excessive.
Will a 10KW generator be acceptable? I can eliminate the microwave, clothes & dishwasher and other nonessential appliances from the transfer switch.
Major benefit of the generator for me: her house is nearby so will be a reliable source of backup power to run the wall charger on my Powerwheels golf cart.
