Thanks for watching and subscribing, we finally got power back

I have the Genmax9000ied - got me thru the derecho and now Beryl running my whole home (including central air). With a soft start on your a/c and the setup like Gavin does so you can just plug into your house and switch it to run it all, its the way to go if you live here. Am upgrading to this one though to be able to run off natural gas. For the money, think it will get you thru a few years, when the next greatest thing is available.

Yes, I don't think you can use bonding plugs on GFCI outlets, so your solution is great. If one is using the 50 amp plug, you could use the 30 amp for the bonding plug as well. Of course, the bonding plug just lets you use the outlets like a worksite machine, so it's not something you would be using while the unit is plugged into your house.

You are welcome!

Pics please

How was your delivery? Go smooth?

Thanks buddy 😊

Thanks Kevin 👍🏾

I gave up on installing a 22kw standby since everyone wants $500 per year to maintain it in the DC Metro area.

Wow really they don't talk about that

Yes, I should have it on the channel soon

I saw that but for a little more, you could buy two of these and run them in parallel. Plus (for me) this is a tri fuel and I plan on using NG. Also, I just spoke with Gavin and he confirmed the two units running in parallel will be running a lot quite that this one.

I don’t think it’s asking for a lot. It’s just the price increase would also have to be excepted

Everyone has a different definition of “ultimate”. I agree that a diesel 1800rpm machine makes for an excellent permanently installed standby generator, but you can’t easily pick that up and take it with you. These higher capacity portable inverter units are so versatile.

​bnnnnn

You would be also hard pressed to pick up this 247 pound beast and take it w you… id like to see how folks put this in the back of the truck? Lets do a vid on this please…Gavin this sounds loud?

What is the name of the diesel generator and can you purchase it in the US?

This is the generator I use for my home but for my RV I use the genmax 7250 W

Just buy another and parallel them and get more power. Great to have a backup if one goes down too. 😊

I will have to look into this

Good question

Yessir, I have and ones coming my way from Duromax for reviewing

Links in the description and yes I will do that video for you 👍🏾

On my 3.5ton heat pump/ac I went from over 100amps of locked rotor rating (I never actually measured starting amps before) to 25amps with a microair easystart. Not only is it a much better ball park for a generator, my utility bills went down and lights don't dim when it comes on which was a problem in certain rooms, usually those with dimmer switches.

Try a 50amp inlet with 6 gauge wire and you will be able to get your unit running plus what soft start are you using

Not yet but I’ll will be making one soon

We just had a tornado last month and a hurricane this month I lost power for six days both times I ran my 5 ton AC, three ceiling fans, refrigerator, lights, and microwave the entire time. I have customers who did it for 18 days straight with no power.

Agreed 👍🏾

Just use gasoline propane is just to expensive.

You’re claiming propane is more expensive than gasoline🤨 How much is gasoline in your area?

I have never heard of them shutting off NG prior to or during a disaster.

I have yet to find one that works with the seven pin ATS

Hey Greg Thanks for the email looking forward to hearing from you

This generator is floating neutral no need for conversion Micro air EasyStart

Good to know! Thank you.

Also, this one is an inverter pure sine wave so you get less than 3% THD clean power so you want to harm any of your sensitive electronics and appliances

Yes

The camera makes it louder

Meant to say ease of repair on last word.

Free wooden pallets

I guess in case of flood I’m putting mine on top of its cover. Thanks for that great idea honestly, I never thought of it.

@@GeneratorReviews I know... it seems nobody thinks about that, but to me, that's the main concern...

Thanks for showing your soft start system. I think my electrician pulled a fast one on me. My soft starts on both A/C units have no external boxes at all. They took my money though.

@@ChatGPT1111it also be installed internally not all of them install on the outside. Depends on how old and model of your AC

Genmax stands behind the warranty. You shouldn’t have to worry about anything.

Yes, you can use your 30 amp plug to connect to a 30 amp inlet.

It is very easy to move it around thanks for the handleand the wheels

Hi The hose is 25ft and I will post the links to my website

@@GeneratorReviews couldn't find it on your website. Is it 1/2 or 3/4"?

I don’t have an exact date

You could purge the line before tightening it all the way, but at least the unit will try again automatically.

Thanks

You’ll probably get about 24 hours per tank but it would run absolutely everything in that RV

I think it is a motorized ball valve

Check out the videos at 9.49

Amazon i will post the link

Genmax is still in the process of developing this ATS unit

Check out this video. It’s almost what you’re asking for. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8mPjK1lz86mYps.htmlsi=xP5ST3CYiOxUz6KP

No!!! You cannot have the generator inside of the garage

It’s most likely exactly like you said your heat strips are coming online requiring a higher demand. Is there anyway you can deactivate that?

@@GeneratorReviews From what I've read so far, heat strips in the air handler can be either triggered by the thermostat for aux/emergency heat or by heat pump itself for maintaining comfort when the heat pump goes into defrost mode and basically switches to ac mode blowing cold air for a couple minutes. Nothing I do at the thermostat can prevent the communication coming from the heat pump for heat strips to come on during defrost so the advice I've seen is to disconnect the W wire from the low voltage junction box at the heat pump, with it making no difference in the defrost performance, just the comfort of anyone near the hvac vents while defrost occurs. I'm hoping it would work to install an inline low voltage switch somewhere between the heat pump and the air handler so that I can just disable the heat strips when needing to use generator power vs needing to open the panel and insert/remove a wire if/when I want to change it. All of this is odd because I didn't even think the air handler had heat strips since the paperwork I received with the house listed heat strips as an option that wasn't selected and even on days when the temperature has been below 20F my whole house energy use has rarely topped 7kw per hour, so it was a surprise to see energy use for the air handler alone bump up to 10kw. The frequency and duration matches when I should expect defrost to occur. The air handler and heat strips must share a circuit as there is only one cable going to it, rated at 60 amps/240 volts, on a 90 amp subpanel running nothing else. The large gauge wiring had been reused from the prior system so I had thought it was simply funny to have a 500 watt fan on a 90 amp dedicated panel. The heat pump is on a separate 40 amp circuit on the main panel.

@@GeneratorReviews I unhooked and capped the white low voltage thermostat wire from the heat pump defrost board and now defrost runs fine without triggering the heat strips. I haven't noticed any discomfort from the heat strips not running. It would be easy to reconnect if desired.

Heat strips typically have a dedicated breaker in the panel. Find that and turn off. Defrost will blow cold air while heat strips are disabled but will be fine as long as the compressor can still generate heat with the outdoor temperatures. Some compressors are disabled in negative temps and heat strips become primary in that situation. Then it would be better to throw the compressor breaker off and run strips in emergency heat mode.

@@projectswithjw A separate circuit would be helpful. My air handler apparently shares a 60 amp circuit with the heat strips. My heat pump manual has heat efficiency data down to -5F. It's only twice as efficient as resistance heat at 10F but it rarely gets below 15F here in NC.

Yes, you can. That’s actually the perfect percentage.

I’m currently getting all the tri fuel to do a comparison video. Thanks for asking. Should be doing it soon.

Unfortunately, No you can’t because the 4000 is 120 V inverter and the 10,500 is a 240 V inverter they’re not compatible to parallel

Yes, that’s the best way to do it

1/2 inch natural gas line

After I installed the soft start, I’m seeing around 39A

Wow, and this thing is doing it! Good stuff.@@GeneratorReviews

I would try and keep it under 100ft if at all possible.

@@GeneratorReviews Great, I ordered a 40 ft hose

You would contact the manufacturer and set up a warranty service

Yes it is

No, my gas meter is not upgraded

1/2 inch

As long as you have soft starts and paralleling two generators you should be able to do it

Something is overloading did you turn off your water heater? Make sure you turn off all the circuits that’s not being used

With a 6.9 gallons fuel capacity, it can operate for around 8.1 hours at 50% load with a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.85 GPH). When using propane, it can run for around 4 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.18 GPH).

I try to keep it in low idle mode as much as I can, unless I’m doing a really heavy load.

could you give like a percentage...like at 70% load you then go high idle. Will it shut off if you are doing a heavy load on low idle? ty @@GeneratorReviews

It works best with the same model because of the updated parallel plug on the 10500

@@GeneratorReviews got it, thank you

The provided hose is half-inch with half-inch quick connect fittings.

Mine is about 75 feet are used 50 feet of holes and 25 feet of power cable and it worked just fine

Yes with the soft start I think it will work 👍🏾

@@GeneratorReviews awesome thank you! You like the power watch dog ? Considering that just for monitoring capabilities via my phone versus messing with something inside the panel.

You can find that one on Amazon

I currently have around 20 of them running on food trucks 8 to 10 hours a day so far they’re doing great. Haven’t seen any issues on running them that hard.

@@GeneratorReviews Awesome to know,thanks for the reply.I need a backup for my backup,gonna try one of these.

If you keep the switch in 120/240 you can run both loads

The warranty is a one-year warranty. If you have any concerns, you can call me or you can call Genmax direct I don’t have extended warranty and honestly I don’t think it’s needed. If you have any concerns, you can call me right now. I’ll be happy to help.

Thanks for the reply, can you please send the phone number to Genmax and customer support.

Parts and labor usually start around 800

It comes with a 25 ft 1/2 inch hose

The dimensions on my table is 4 x 6‘

It comes with 25 feet, but you can buy the extra hose if needed

​@@GeneratorReviewsHow does this compare with the DuroMax brand?

I don’t understand the question please clarify

Sorry for the bad experience

I had to throw it away as they refused to honor the warranty, and nobody works on them. Thanks for encouraging me to spend my hard earned money on this junk.

I have a brand new westinghouse 12000DF that took a dump on me after 12 hours. Complete garbage.

I think you probably get about 8-10 hours running at 25% load

@@GeneratorReviews way better than my first generator I had. Maybe like 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Yes it can be paralleled

Not at this time but it has a one year warranty

The db vid meter was close and it sounds louder on the camera

www.gavins-garage.com/product/genmax-gm10500ietc-tri-fuel-portable-inverter-generator/

Yes it is.
