How much does it take to run central A/C? I'm talking a 3 ton system.
I have a 22k genny and a 4 ton AC...It'll run everything in the house.

"Running" the AC is not the problem, it is the start up of the central unit (not portable). I think the majority of the whole home generators have switching and load management intelligence. When the power goes out, the smart switch can do a load manage and control what units come on and when. For example, when AC unit one comes on line, it can be programmed to wait for it to be up and running before the other AC unit can be allowed to start up.
With load management, you can get by with a smaller (KW) generator. The KW calculator may say you need a 30KW (liquid cooled) to run everything but you may be able to get by with 22KW (air cooled) if you stay away from using an electric dryer, an electric over, at the same time you are running both AC central units.
