Hey Michael, thanks for reaching out!

I recommend using the Progressive Dynamics 2000 Watt Inverter w/ Transfer Switch # PD64FR, but only if you'll be running a single AC unit and nothing else with AC power. According to my research this 2,000 Watt inverter will be able to handle up to a 15K Btu AC unit but that will be pushing the limits which is why you can only run the AC unit.

John. What if I used a bigger inverter if needed to the Refrigerator?

@Michael For a larger one I recommend using the 3,000 Watt Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger # 34275013 which comes with a controller to help you control what's going on.
