Ships to your door — no installation, no permit, no electrician. 4,500W Gasoline Inverter — safe for electronics $100.00 shipping Inverter generators produce clean power - low total harmonic distortion - which means you can run laptops, routers, modern TVs and variable-speed equipment off it without worrying about what the waveform is doing to them. They are also dramatically quieter than a conventional open-frame set, and they throttle down when the load is light instead of running flat out. Ship weight is 125 lb. Portables cover essentials during an outage: refrigeration, lights, well and sump pumps, phones and networking. They do not run central air conditioning, which in a Texas summer is usually the load that actually matters — if that is your concern, [a permanently installed standby unit](https://utselectricpros.com/generators) is the honest answer.

There is no installation, no permit and no electrician involved with a portable, so $1,178.65 is the whole cost. ### What will the P4500i run? It is rated at roughly 4,500 starting watts. In practical terms that covers a refrigerator, several lights and outlets, a sump or well pump, and either a small window AC or a space heater - not both. A portable will not run central air conditioning; that is what a standby unit is for. ### What fuel does the P4500i use? Gasoline. If the unit will sit unused for long stretches, use fuel stabilizer and run it dry before storage - stale gasoline is the single most common reason a portable will not start when it is finally needed. ### Can I use the P4500i to back-feed my house? Only through a properly installed transfer switch or an interlock kit. Plugging a generator into a wall outlet - a suicide cord - back-feeds the utility line and can kill a lineman working to restore your power. It is also illegal. If you want the generator to power house circuits, we install a manual transfer switch, and if you are doing that anyway it is worth asking whether a standby unit is the better buy. ## Other portables ### [Cummins P2500i](https://utselectricpros.com/portable-generators/p2500i) Portable inverter · Gasoline Ships to your door Price $623.75 Equipment price.
