Can it power a whole house?

Yes, with 13,750 running watts on gasoline and 13,000 on propane, it can carry most whole-home loads when wired through a transfer switch or interlock. Large central air and electric heat may still need load management.

Does it come with a transfer switch?

No. The two 14-50R outlets connect to a transfer switch or interlock you supply and have installed. The box includes the generator, oil funnel, spark plug wrench, tool set, remote control and battery tender cord.

DuroMax rates it at 77 dB at 50% load, which is loud enough to be heard across a yard. Place it away from windows and doors and expect noticeable noise at full load.

Gasoline or propane: which should I use?

Propane gives slightly less power (16,500 peak / 13,000 running watts) but stores indefinitely and avoids carburetor gumming. Gasoline gives full output and longer run time from the 11.9-gallon tank.

It weighs 269 lb dry, so use the wheel kit and a second person for loading or stairs. It is not a carry-by-hand unit.

What maintenance does it need?

Change the oil after break-in and then on schedule, keep the 12V AGM battery charged with the included tender cord, and run it monthly under load. The five-year warranty covers parts and technical service.
