That little generator might run a furnace blower motor. What have
you used it to run? The largest generator I installed for a home

my late friend GB to build a doghouse that matched the home as a
cover for the big genset. ^_^

TDD

I'm not (Pete) but my finding is that a 1200 watt ETQ brand gas mixer
generator did run furnace for a friend of mine. Big belt drive
blower, too.

I've not tried refrigerators, though. They take more start up
current.

The doghouse sounds like a good idea for cover. Might muffle the
sound, also.

When the power goes off, I look up and down the street. Try not to
appear better off than my neighbors. I usually go with a couple
candles and oil lamps, which also put out heat. Propane two mantle
lamp is excellent for both heat and light.

A standard single door refrigerator doesn't draw that much current even
at start up. So I don't see why Pete's generator wouldn't run one. ^_^
