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 ...

Most of the time this is discussed it is with something like a Honda 2000 which has 1600w running and a shorter 2000w surge. Yours has 2000w running and a 2200w surge, thats a big difference.
When I asked how big of a generator to run our AC (Coleman 13.5) I was told 2600w to start and 2400w to run. If you have a more efficient unit at sea level I can see it doing it. I do agree it wont be good for the AC or the generator in the long run.
