Hi,

If I buy a generator that's too big for average use for my house - for
example, I really need a 3500 but get a 7000 instead - and most of the
time don't draw more than 3500, will I be wasting have the gas or are
the generators smart enough these days to burn only as much gas as
needed?

Thanks,

Sam

In most cases it will burn less if it is working less. There is some
"overhead" though. But in the less than 10k watts it's not a lot.
