During The power outage this winter ran my natural gas furnace and my fridge lights and TV just on my Honda 2000 Running heavy duty extension cord into the house and plugged it into a 15amp transfer switch I got from the Home Depot Reliance,made in the US by the way. I thought the Honda would struggle to fire up the furnace from a standstill but it managed it even on the eco-setting Thought this might be good info especially if like me you already have a Honda for RV back up
My peak load was surprisingly low when I had to use the RV to power my house. Most furnaces are in the 1/2 HP range (about 500 watts running) the honda would not have a problem with that.. A Really big furnace might pull 1,000 watts.
Air conditioners however are a whole nutter power draw.. The honda won't run more than perhaps one small window unit .
