Room AC nameplates vary by efficiency and compressor type; default is a planning value for larger 115 V units.
Never operate a fuel-burning generator indoors, in a garage, on a porch, or near open windows. Use a listed transfer switch or interlock installed by a qualified electrician for home wiring, and verify actual device nameplates before buying equipment.
