You may contact your local power companies and find out the rates of electric vs. gas. Then ask your local generator company to give you statistics based on your square footage as to how much electric and how much gas it would take use for your square footage. This will help you determine which is more efficient to run.

Yes, you can run an electric clothes dryer from a 7500-watt generator, provided that the generator's output is sufficient to handle the dryer's starting and running wattage. Most electric dryers require between 3000 to 6000 watts to operate, but they may need significantly more power (up to 8000 watts) for a short burst when starting. It's essential to check the specifications of both the dryer and the generator to ensure compatibility and avoid overloading the generator. Additionally, proper connections and safety precautions should be observed when using the generator.
