I am hoping everyone is warm and being safe! I know winters are hard and at times poor families use a generator, keep it outside be safe
Add up the power requirements of the appliances and devices you will want to use. (Check the back and sides for a label with this info.)
Add up the wattage of all the light bulbs you will want to use.
Find the total amps you need by dividing watts by volts.
Choose a generator that produces more amps than you need – because some machines draw up to 3 times as much power when starting up, and others lose efficiency over time. The best option is a permanently-installed stationary generator.
really good reading!! be safe and love me lol
