Can it run a refrigerator and a furnace?

It can run a refrigerator plus lights and fans at the same time. A furnace blower usually fits within 4,000 running watts, but check the startup watts on your equipment. Central air conditioning is too much for this size.

Does it come with a remote and a propane hose?

It ships with a remote fob and a propane hose for a standard 20 lb tank. The battery for electric start is typically included; check the box contents for your unit.

How loud is it really?

A-iPower rates it at 68 dB, which is about the level of a normal conversation at close range. Owners say it is noticeably louder when a large load starts, so keep it away from bedroom windows and neighbors.

Can I connect it to my house panel?

Yes, through the L14-30R 120/240V outlet and a transfer switch installed by an electrician. It will not power a whole house; plan on a few circuits.

Gasoline or propane: which should I use?

Propane gives slightly less power but stores indefinitely and keeps the carburetor clean. Gasoline gives full output and longer runtime per tank. Many owners keep propane for standby and gasoline for longer outages.

Does the CO sensor shut it off automatically?

Yes. The CO sensor cuts the engine if carbon monoxide builds up around the unit. It is a safety backup, not a substitute for running the generator outdoors and away from windows.

About the A-iPower Generator 4000 Watt Remote

The A-iPower GXS5000RD portable generator delivers plenty of power at a great value, and it offers three different starting options for maximum convenience—remote start using the included remote fob, electric push-button start, and traditional recoil start—so you can power up your home, RV, or construction site quickly and easily no matter the situation. At the heart of this generator is a Performance Series 223cc OHV engine with a cast iron sleeve, designed to be fuel-efficient, reliable, and long-lasting while providing excellent heat dissipation. On gasoline, it produces 5,000 starting watts and 4,000 running watts; on LPG, it delivers 4,500 starting watts and 3,600 running watts, all while operating at a sound level of just 68dB, making it powerful enough to run lights, a TV, refrigerator, pump, and fan simultaneously for household or RV use, as well as one or two power tools at a time on small to medium-sized construction sites. The multi-featured control panel includes a CO sensor indicator light, electric start push button, data center display, remote fob storage, two 5-20R duplex 20 Amp 120-Volt outlets, one L5-30R 30 Amp 120-Volt twist-lock outlet, and one L14-30R 30 Amp 120-Volt/240-Volt twist-lock outlet, giving you flexible connectivity for a wide range of devices. Thanks to dual fuel technology, this generator achieves a runtime of up to 20 hours at 25% load on a 6.3-gallon gasoline tank, and up to 18.5 hours at 25% load on LPG using a standard 20-pound propane tank. For peace of mind, A-iPower backs this unit with a 3-year limited manufacturer's warranty. Despite its heavy-duty construction and durable powder coat finish, the GXS5000RD remains portable with a folding handle for easy transport. It is also compliant with the latest EPA, PGMA, and CARB standards and features a CO sensor with auto shutdown technology for added safety. Whether you need reliable backup power at home, energy for your RV, or a tough worksite companion, the A-iPower GXS5000RD is a smart, versatile, and safety-conscious choice
