Will 2600w peak 2300w running start and run a/c?

I guess I should clarify my last post. A quality inverter style gen (Honda, Yamaha etc) should have no issues in the above stated watts. Offshore brand inverter gen's are hit and miss, more often than not the specified numbers are fictional at best.
Offshore contractor style generators should have no issues running your A/C in the stated watts. Reliability and noise levels are the bigger issues here.
