Generator Questions, Help and Tips

Yes. Lennox™ Residential Generators are available in three sizes (12kW, 18kW and 30kW) to meet the needs of any home. The model you choose depends upon the size of your home and the number of circuits you want supplied with backup power. Lennox' commercial–grade digital controllers provide increased peak motor–starting capability for larger loads. Even our smallest 12kW generator will start and run a 5–ton AC unit. Our 18kW unit will start and run a 5–ton air conditioner in addition to basic electrical needs, such as a refrigerator, dishwasher, furnace, lighting, television, garage door opener and computer. Among competitive models, only those 16kW or larger are capable of starting a 5–ton AC unit. Our 18kW unit will start and run multiple air conditioning units, as will the Lennox 30kW model, which is also designed to power larger homes with additional electrical demands, such as an electric range, clothes dryer, sump pump, security system...even a wine cellar.
