wa8yxmExplorer IIIJul 12, 20153000 to 3500 watts is your answer I thinkThough I would not wish to guarantee thatBut 30 amp service is only 3600 so 3000 SHOULD do it I would think since I can usualy run both the water heater and one A/C on 30 amps.2500 MIGHT but that's cutting it too close for comfort and I have heard of it being done on 2000 but that was a very easy start A/C.
