Default Furnace question

Anybody happen to know how much initial startup amperage

I'm needing to know what a reasonable generator capacity
would be without overdoing it.
Thanks.


well a furnace will easily run on a fifteen amp circuit, so any old
1500 watt gen will do it if that's all you're running.
