You might want to try running it....for a hour or more when it is hot outside....before you get too excited. Even if you are successful doing so, answer this question.

I can easily start my 13,500 BTU AC with a single Honda EU2000i as well. However, starting is not the problem.

I have attacked this problem from many different directions and the only reasonably conclusion (for me) is to use two generators. Your experience may be different....but I really doubt it.
