- Can it power a whole house?
- Yes, with a properly sized transfer switch. Its 20,000 running watts on gasoline cover most whole-home loads, though natural gas output is lower at 16,000 watts.
- Does it run on natural gas?
- Yes. It is tri-fuel and runs on gasoline, propane or natural gas, with output dropping as fuel energy density falls.
- Is the power clean enough for electronics?
- Yes. Total harmonic distortion is under 5%, which is generally safe for computers, TVs and HVAC controls.
- How long does it run on a tank?
- Up to 13 hours at 25% load on the 17.2-gallon tank. Heavier loads shorten that considerably.
- How loud is it?
- About 79 dBA at operating volume, which is loud. Place it away from windows and neighbors.
- Can one person move it?
- Not safely. At 557 lb it needs a cart, ramps or a permanent installation spot.
