Best power station for a gas furnace blower
A gas furnace blower draws about 600W while running and up to 1500W for a moment at startup, averaging 300W because it cycles on and off. A gas furnace still needs electricity for its blower and igniter. Connecting one requires a transfer switch or an inlet installed by an electrician.
