Generator/UPS for HTP UFT 80 and Rinnai Ruc98i

[DR-DEATH]

hi guys I had a HTP system installed last November and am looking at alternate ways to power it if the power goes out. I don't have a generator but was looking at a Honda 2k generator but alsovam toying with the idea of using a backup UPS. the manual for the HTP and Rinnai list peak power at almost nothing compared to the ups in looking at. I also have just one Taco ecm pump and 3 zone valves. My guess is the power consumption of all these could easily be powered by a UPS for a few hours etc. any experience with this?

When I first set up my HTP UFT-80W last summer I had a Kill-a-Watt meter on it for a while.
IIRC while firing and with the ECM circulator on it drew in the area of 50 watts or so.

The 1,500VA UPS you're looking at will give you a few hours run time at least.

Sweet. Maybe I'll try that over the generator for now.
