Q: How big of a generator do I need for a transfer switch?

Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator&rsquo;s largest outlet is 30 amps, you&rsquo;ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.</p></div>

Q: Can a 10,000-watt generator run a central AC unit?

• <div><p>A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.</p></div>

Q: What size generator do I need to run a fridge?

While the idea generations were good, you don't actually get firm design plans you can use to then complete a project. That is extra, so it seems to be a bit pricey for what you ultimately do get in the end. Next time I would probably not offer as much prize money knowing this is how it works.
