Refrigerator, and Furnace. Nothing more. No Freezers, microwaves, electric stoves/ovens/TVs. If this works..I can add something else...until the generator trips out.
What do you think..??  NB |
What size breaker is on your furnace? I think the generator is to small to run both if they kick on at the same time.I run cords and switch appliances.
