Will a Generator Power an Air Conditioner

Will a 2000 Watt Generator Run an Air Conditioner?

A portable generator can be a great investment for when the power goes out, or for outdoor activities such as camping or family events. If you’ve ever wondered if your 2000 watt generator will run an air conditioner, the answer is yes, but only a portable or window air conditioning unit. You can power most small home appliances with a 2000 watt generator very smoothly but your central air system will not run efficiently. Typically, 2000 watts is the maximum output, but their general running wattage is around 1800 watts. That said, be sure to check the power requirements of your specific air conditioning unit. A consultation with a licensed electrician like those at Oliver will help you decide which generator is right for your needs. […]

Joe E from Oliver Duct Cleaning - fabulous service, very thorough and good at explaining how things work

David B.

The installation team consisted of Tommy, Clint and a junior technician. Tommy arrived early and we discussed access, set-up, and technical approach. Tommy prepared the area so that when Clint and the equipment arrived, the installation was quickly underway. After the thermostat was placed, Clint provided a clear tutorial of its operation. Clint and I then inspected the installation of the air conditioner and the gas furnace. All of my questions concerning purpose, operation, and maintenance were answered. I appreciate the tips and insight that Tommy and Clint provided. Clean-up was meticulous. Altogether a very satisfying experience for a conscientious homeowner.

Maureen B.

I had my air conditioner services in preparation for the upcoming summer season. I can't say enough about the service that I received. The Technician was great. He was knowledgeable, professional and honest. Mr. Oliver you have a great employee in Perry Because of this great experience I will continue with your company and advise my friends and family to do the same. Thank you again for a great experience.

Mike Jensen and his associate are the best. We had a lot of plumbing jobs and Mike knocked them out with great expertise. Extremely personable, polite and efficient. They do not come any better. Five stars, A plus.

Vince D

This is one of those big ticket items for your home, having to replace our 15 year old Heat Pump System, but, eventually, it has to be done. I could not say enough about the work completed by Oliver HVAC Services!

With the initial consultation with Rocco Jr. giving us all the options, costs, and told us about the installation was extremely helpful in making our decision to install a new Heat Pump System. He also return after the installation to assist us in setting up our Wi-Fi thermostat system.

As for the installation technicians they were phenomenal. During the installation Scott, Brendan and Mason insured every step was done with care, was customer centric, and insured it was done with the highest level of professionalism! Overall the installation surpassed our expectations! They were also on time and left the place spotless. They are a 5 star group all around.

Thank you,
Vince & Debbie

The installation of our heating/cooling system went very well. I would not hesitate in recommending Oliver. Not so for plumping.

I highly recommend Mike Jensen from Oliver, Heating and Plumbing for any HVAC or sewer drain repairs needs.

Mike recently repaired our sewer drain and I was extremely impressed with his work from start to finish. He was friendly, professional, and took the time to clearly explain the issue in the steps needed to fix it.

Mike arrived promptly, worked efficiently, and made sure everything was completed properly before leaving. His attention to detail and commitment to doing the right job were evident throughout the entire process. It’s not always easy to find someone who is both knowledgeable and personable, but might truly delivers on both. I greatly appreciate his excellent service and would not hesitate to call him again or recommend him to others.

The Oliver team replaced my son's HVAC system and redesigned the ductwork. Their drywall team came and replaced, sealed and insulated the ductwork openings to the heater room. They did it fast and efficiently. I would recommend them for installations and service.
