Can I run a central air conditioner on a Generator?

Yes. GE standby generators can support central air conditioners thanks to the powerful Symphony™ transfer switch system.

The Symphony™ whole house transfer switch will monitor loads on the home generator while under emergency power, to determine if there is enough room on the generator to run up to two central air units from 3 to 5 tons (depending on the size of your generator). The Symphony™ Power Management System upgrade allows you to manage 4 additional lower priority, high wattage appliances for maximum comfort and control from a smaller generator.
