Appliance load calculator

List what you actually need to run, and get a real total instead of a guess. This feeds straight into the system sizing calculator.

"Motor" marks appliances with a compressor or motor (fridges, pumps, AC, washing machines), which draw a short surge well above their running wattage when they start.

Assumes a 3× startup surge for motor-driven appliances, a common rule of thumb; some compressors and pumps surge higher. Not sure about a specific unit? Check its nameplate or ask us.
