I'm looking into a dual fuel generator. Pulsar (ford), champion, sportsman, etc.
Is getting a generator that is too big for your application a big problem?
I thought I wanted just a small workhorse to run extension cords to a couple of full size refrigerators and a AC window unit during post hurricane power outages.
However I may go beyond that, and want to hook it up to my house power panel some day. So, my main concern is getting a generator that is too much power for what I initially need i.e. I'll just be wasting fuel if I understand things correctly; running a large generator at low loads is inefficient. Or am I incorrect, running a large generator at low loads is actually fuel efficient?
I do NOT want to be under-powered should I undergo the process to hook it into my house electrical panel and power 3 fridge/freezers, range, microwave, AC unit and lights/fans.
Right now there is a ford generator that grabbed my attention but it's the biggest one available , like 9000w I believe. It is the most cost effective and has the most positive reviews online. I would opt for the 6500w size, but they are unavailable now.
As far as I'm concerned, having a dual fuel gen on hand will help me out no matter what, just trying to decide how I will and will not use it.
