Didn't think about the gas. Well scratch that idea. Lol. I'll stick with what I have. 8k/10k watt generac portable. It's big enough to run my camper with ac going and my fridge in the house. That's what I've been running since this morning when the power went out. Thanks for the info!

looked up a random 12k portable generator on the internet, looks like that model would need as much as 16 gallons of gasoline to make it through 1 night powering a 4 ton central unit.

As much as 40 gallons to run for 24 hours straight.

These are ROUGH numbers just based on their description on the web site


We run a 17.5 generac portable. We use rouglhy 12-15 gallons per day. Thata running ac for a 3bedroom house plus fridge, lights and ceiling fans
