Will 2600w peak 2300w running start and run a/c?
13,500 btu unit?

Watts = Volts x Amps
2300W / 120V = 19amps
It might do it, but that's assuming nothing else is running and the load on the A/C isn't too high. I used to have a Generac rated at 3750W startup but it couldn't handle my A/C starting. in my case I finally discovered it was rated for a max 27.1amps, but since it was 240V that amperage was divided between the two 120V legs so I only had an effective 13.5amps for my RV plug. UGGHHH, expensive lesson!!
