Air Conditioners and Generators
So I just got my first generator: $175 for an old 2kw no-name (PowerTek) inverter on Kijiji. I have seen many posts about what capacity of generator is required to run an air conditioner, all saying ...

I've heard about 13.5 kBTU A/Cs running on a 2000 watt generator, so it can be done if the generator can handle the locked rotor amps.
It is running on the ragged edge of the generator though, so I'd see about a voltmeter just to make sure that voltage is within normal specs... too low and the compressor may burn out.
