Plan loads using the lower propane rating whenever propane will be the primary fuel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eCan it connect to a home transfer switch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eYes, through its 120\/240V 30A L14-30R outlet and compatible code-compliant transfer equipment installed by a qualified electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDoes it have a 50-amp outlet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eNo. The DS8000iX uses a 30-amp L14-30R for 120\/240V output. Customers needing a factory 14-50R outlet should consider the larger DS14000iX.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eCan it run central air conditioning?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThat depends on the air conditioner's running amperage, compressor-starting surge, fuel choice, and all other simultaneous loads. A properly sized soft-start device may be required. Do not size the system from peak watts alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eHow long will it run?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eOn gasoline it is rated up to 21.5 hours at 25% load and 14.5 hours at 50% load. On a 40 lb. propane tank, it is rated up to 17 hours at 25% load and 9 hours at 50% load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat starting options are included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eRemote start, electric start, and recoil backup are all included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eCan it ship to California?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eNo. DuroMax lists this model as non-California emissions compliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from AllProGenerators?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eAllProGenerators has helped customers choose backup-power equipment since 2018.
