eed some help deciding which Honda generator will best meet
your needs? Use our Generator Selection Guide to help narrow
your choices to 2-3 models. These estimates will meet most
consumers’ needs, but be sure to check your individual appliances for
their actual wattage requirements. You can get a better estimate on a
variety of tools and appliances using the chart on page 7. It’s also a smart
idea to discuss your choice with your Authorized Honda Power Equipment Dealer.

1) Estimate your wattage requirements.
*
What kind of water, furnace, and hot water heater do you have?
• Utility water; gas, oil, or LP furnace; gas, oil, or LP hot water heater:
You can power your home with a 2800-4000 watt generator. You could also
consider choosing a smaller generator, like the EU2200i, to handle basics like
the refrigerator, TV, microwave, and lights.
• Well water; electric hot water heater; gas, oil, or LP furnace:
You need a 5000-6500 watt generator with 120/240V capability.
• Heat pump (electric furnace):
Portable generators cannot power a heat pump. Consider using
an alternative source of heat.
2) Decide on a series.
What combination of features and value is right for you?
• EG series: Reliable power at an economical price
• EM series: Adds additional features, including electric start, wheel kit, and more
• EU series: Adds even more features, like super quiet operation, inverter quality power, and longer run time
3) Combine your series and your wattage together to find the best models for your needs.
For example, if you need 5000-6500 watts, and prefer the conveniences of electric starting and a built-in wheel
kit, consider the EM5000SX or EM6500SX.
