Can it run a central air conditioner?

Yes, with 9,500 running watts on gasoline, it can power most central AC units, but check your AC's starting wattage to ensure it stays within the generator's surge capacity.

What is included in the box?

The generator comes with a remote start key fob, a 12V battery, a bottle of oil, a funnel, and a user manual. A propane hose is not included.

How long does it run on propane?

Runtime on propane varies with load, but typically it runs about half as long as on gasoline due to lower energy content. Expect around 6-8 hours at half load.

Is it safe to use during a power outage?

Yes, but always operate it outdoors away from windows and doors. The CO sensor shuts down the generator if carbon monoxide levels get too high.

Does it have a transfer switch?

It is transfer switch ready with a 30A L14-30R outlet, but the transfer switch itself is sold separately.

What maintenance does it require?

Regular oil changes, air filter cleaning, and spark plug checks are needed. For extended storage, add fuel stabilizer and run the carburetor dry.

About the Westinghouse WGen9500DFc Dual Fuel Portable Generator

The Westinghouse WGen9500DFc is a dual fuel portable generator with a built-in carbon monoxide (CO) sensor. On gasoline it produces 12,500 peak watts and 9,500 running watts. On propane it produces 11,200 peak watts and 8,500 running watts. It can switch from gasoline to propane without shutting off the unit.

It uses a 457cc 4-stroke OHV Westinghouse engine with a cast iron sleeve. The 6.6-gallon tank runs for up to 12 hours at 25% load. Safety and monitoring features include automatic CO shutdown, automatic low oil shutdown, overload protection, automatic voltage regulation and a fuel gauge. The VFT Data Center displays voltage output, frequency and lifetime hours.

The generator starts with a push button, the included remote key fob or the emergency recoil start. The L14-30R 30A and 14-50R 50A outlets are transfer switch ready, so major appliances can run from a single cord hookup. There are also two GFCI 120V 5-20R 20A household outlets, and all outlets have rubber covers. Never-flat wheels, a handle and a lift bracket make it portable.
