Backup Generator Recommendations
✅ 4500 Running Watts - https://amzn.to/3LNSiq7
(This is on the smaller side but its a good quality generator and will work for you if you are selective with your loads)
✅ 8000 Running Watts - https://amzn.to/3A8uACs
(This is the option I would choose. It has the size to run your loads without having to worry about staging them on. It can also handle most AC units with a soft start. I will be buying this one to replace what I have now)
✅ 9500 Running Watts - https://amzn.to/3SvhGok
(I would buy this generator if I was planning on installing a 50A inlet box. This generator will back up your whole home. A 50A installation is the same process but with a larger wire, a 50A inlet and a 2-pole 50A breaker.)
✅ 30A Generator Connection Cord (25 feet). https://amzn.to/3WM5z91
