Had this installed in a new house I had built. Approx sq. ft. is 2700 with a 5 ton ac unit. 2 weeks after moving in we lost power and about 5 - 8 seconds later we had power from the generator. worked as advertised. As far as I'm concerned, it paid for itself already. Just having it on stand-by is great relief. I'd recommend this to anyone.

Exactly what I expected, installation was straight forward and look forward to having plenty of power during next storm which may cause balckout in my area.

This generator was installed in a home approximately 4K sf. Burned a little bit of oil.
