Frequently asked questions
What can the Honda EU2200i Companion run during an outage?
With 1,800 running watts on its best fuel, the Honda EU2200i Companion covers outage essentials — a refrigerator, lights, electronics, and a furnace fan or sump pump via extension cords — but not large 240 V appliances. Add up your actual loads with a sizing worksheet — the bands here are rough guidance, not a load calculation.
Does the Honda EU2200i Companion have a CO safety shutoff?
Yes — the Honda EU2200i Companion has a built-in carbon monoxide sensor that shuts the engine down when CO accumulates around the unit. It is a backstop, not a substitute for running the generator outdoors at least 20 feet from the house.
