If I want to heat hot water I have to turn off the A/C but water stays hot for a few days or until you use it. The advantage of running a smaller generator is it uses less fuel. Mine uses 10 gallons of gasoline each 24 hours so my 182.5 gallons of gas that I have stored will keep me powered for 18 days.
Thanks for the info Cleo! The one we have is only 2800 but this area has never been hit (yet) We thought we could use that one for the ac. Then buy another one for the fridge, lights and tv etc. We are looking at a 4500 so guess that would do it then. Yeah I saw the pics. of your gas supply looks like your all set
