Tom, I think you will like the Yamaha
generator. I bought the Honda eu3000is. Both will run the A/C, but if you run your
refrigerator on electric, it may overload your
generator and trip the breaker. My 3000is runs my
refrigerator, the A/C, but if I run a coffe maker or an electric skillet, I trip the main breaker on the gen. Below is a list of what each
electrical appliance draws as far as amperage. You have approx. 24 amps to play with.
