Description

Learn how to figure out what size generator you really need for a power outage by calculating running watts and startup surge watts. In this video, I break down the simple math, explain the difference between running and surge wattage, and show real-world examples using my fridge, freezer, transfer switch setup, and Honda EU2200i so you can avoid buying a generator that’s too small or wasting money on one that’s too big. 👉 Download the FREE Sensible Prepping Plan: https://SensiblePreppingPlan.com Links below are affiliate links, which means if you click through and make a purchase, I'll receive a small commission.
