the generator I bought is 13500 starting watts and 8000 running watts. I have it set up to plug directly into our panel thru a range plug. I've run our central a/c, grinder pump for the septic, all lights in the house, microwave, tv's. Just verify if that rating is starting watts or running watts. By the way a 20 amp 120 volt circuit is 2400 watts of which your only supposed to use no more than 80%.
This is very dangerous and could put power back into the grid potentially electricuting anyone working down the lines.
...The electrician suggested I could run everything except our furnace with the 10K. That is not a problem with our back-up heat arrangement.
