There is no F***ing way this will run a 13500 btu air unit. Anyone who says it will is eith lying or a total nut job. As an rv dealer who has had many customers try it i promise you its a NO GO. Don't waste you time with a Hyundai unit. Honda, Yamaha or Kipor 2600- 3000 watt units are the only way to go.

@taineasy Go figure another so called expert with no data to back his statement before you come one here with your bs back it up with some facts Mr I'm an Rv Dealer. Hopefully your so called customers don't buy your RV dealer BullSh**!!

I've Posted numbers, Fact's and real testing of an actual 13500 Btu Rv A/C above in case you have''nt noticed! SO BACK UP YOUR BS DIPSH!T!! YOU CAN START BY NAMING YOU SO CALL DEALERSHIP SO THE PEOPLE ON HERE CAN AVOID YOU!

1 kilowatt of power = 3412.1416 BTU/hr so if you have a 13,500BTU you need 13,500 / 3412.1416 = 3.9565KW or 3956W, that is why most units of 3000W watts are usually used and are also advertising that they can start a 13,500BTU AC unit

[edbotelho]

@idropluscanada The running load rating of a my 13500 btu A/C is 120Volt x 10.5 amps= 1260 Watts of mine anyway an older could range from 12 to 14amps at 120volts would still only be max 1680 Watts

To figure out wattage is Volts x Amp= Wattage

Your wrong with your calc!

[idropluscanada]

If your unit is 13,500BTU it should draw 3955W, basic formula. If your AC starts, it does not start at maximum or it is not 13,500BTU. Maybe some units start, but lets makes it clear, the unit cannot push 3955W when the maximum is 2240W (tested). Again not recommended to buy at Wal Mart, dealers sell for cheaper than them!! and the units, filled with oil, gas, load tested, ready to go and you can ask them any questions! So what are the advantages?? Can Wal Mart answer your questions?

@idropluscanada

Your Formula is the problem not the Generator!

A 13500btu A/C Running load wattage is 1250 not "3955" double check your Math!

[westvandude]

@westvandude If you are using an electric baseboard heater then yes, the standard formula for watts input to btu's output works just fine. To be sure, always look at the A/C unit power sticker to see what starting draw (watts or amps) is to see if your generator will handle the load.

[westvandude]

@tylerwscott Yep. EXACTLY. BTU rating is the amount of HEAT the A/C will draw out of your trailer and transfer to the atmosphere outside. It has NOTHING to do with the current draw. This is why people use heat pumps vs gas furnace. It actually IS more than 100% efficient. The electrical energy required is to run the A/C pump/fan which transfers energy from inside to outside. Pay attention to the SEER efficiency rating of the a/c unit. With SEER you can roughly calculate electrical input.

[bladder1010]

@edbotelho His calculation is correct. If your A/C is only only drawing 10.5A @ 120V, the power is 1260 W. 1260 Watts = 4303 BTU/h. Since no A/C is 100% efficient, it's actually somewhat less than 4303 BTU/h. That's nowhere near 13,500 BTU/h. Can't argue with the laws of physics.

[sheltiemanva]

Ummmm, my Honda 2000 runs my 12,000 BTU wall unit without any trouble at all.

[slubly]

This generator is a waste of money. Avoid it like the plague. Two years of total frustration necessitated by the fact that I lost my receipt and could not return it. An absolute piece of crap. The worst part of it is a complex fuel system that simply does not work.

[shortster90]

@taineasy My Honda EU2000i has powered my 10,000 btu air conditioner on my boat since 2004. The ac unit is louder than the Honda. I also run it on the echo throttle. I get almost 7 hours of run time on a 37 foot sailboat in 90 degree weather. I set the Honda on an inflatable tube for sound isolation over the anchor locker at the bow of the boat. You can not hear the Honda in the cabin, the airflow from the a/c is louder. The best that I have ever done is on a 97 degree day I got the cabin to 64.

[luther349]

just use a 1500 watt space heater its enough to keep any small rv heated and wont blow up that little generator.

[ragzdaddy]

Well , the one thing I do know is that my Onan 6.5 Genset will run 26,000 btu just fine . And personally , you're looking to burn something slap up trying to run 13,500 a/c unit on a Wally World anything . Good luck .

p.s. my humble opinion would to be the next time you are in Wally World doing a science project destined to make alot of smoke , grab a cheap fire extinguisher while you are at it . I am sure you can get a deal on one under rated for the job you'll be NEEDING it for ! lol

[kkrankie]

I just pooped.

[Back2Dixie]

Actually it will run the AC but with reduced output.....I looked it up.
