I'm finding that my Firmin tri blend will not power my central air on Natural Gas. Think it just requires too much initial surge wattage.


Did you try with gasoline? It’s probably still too small, just curious.

Yea but I was throwing the blower and the central air unit at the same time, like a dummy. I was tripping the circuit built in to the Firmin.

I think I can run my (3ton?) AC if I get one of those soft starters but I'm out of my element there. I've been reading that AC units in the 3tonnage range require close to damn 14k surge wattage and my little Firmin ain't pushin' that.
