I wasn’t sure where to classify this…

@riley804 When you are home for 10 days with no power, you get bored.  The generator I have is a large construction generator that will power my minisplit AC I have for my gaming room/office, which is where I’d be living in the event of a hurricane power outage.  It will also power my chest freezer, and my refrigerator, as well as power for my computer.  I have quite a few VR games I can play without internet, as well as a movie server with tons of movies and TV shows.  I just want to make sure I don’t smoke my gaming rig with dirty power.

My generator running on propane will kick out 6800W nominal.  My minisplit AC runs on a 15 amp circuit, so even if I dedicate the full capacity of that circuit in power (accounting for the start up draw etc), that’s only 1800W.  I still have 4000 to play with.  So yes, my generator is powerful enough to do more than just the “small stuff”

your not.

i had a mini split at  our other house for that same reason also.

For your computer, a standard UPS would work fine. Don't forget to put your cable modem and wifi router on an appropriate UPS as well. 

For your audio/video gear get Furman with SMP and LiFT. They’ll keep your gear safe through over/undervoltages and surges.

If you are also looking at long periods of time with varying voltages consider a more advanced Furman with voltage regulation.

Also, the NEC as of 2020 requires whole house surge suppressors. They’ll help keep your magor appliances, HVAC and home automation gear safer. Not a substitute for your PC’s UPS but a beneficial add-on.

Look at the higher end Honda generators, or similar. They producer clean enough power for sensitive electronics.

Moved from SoCal?

Why leave  this expensive, traffic ridden, over crowed, polluted paradise?

Guess being a native, I'm a little over nostalgic and defensive of my constantly getting weirder state.
