Yes, Jackery can power different furnaces, including natural gas, propane, and oil. The Jackery Solar Generator can provide renewable energy to charge your appliances in various outdoor and indoor scenarios. Whether you frequently experience blackouts or power outages, live off the grid, or want a power backup for outdoor activities, Jackery has it covered.
In this article, you can learn how to calculate the working hours of different kinds of furnaces when charged with compatible Jackery models. A compatible power system must have the correct size and capacity to power your devices.
How Much Electricity Does A Furnace Use?
Different furnaces have different energy consumption based on size, brand, and usability. However, furnaces are used more in winter than summer, so this might be another factor affecting the wattage consumption. On average, a furnace uses 300 - 1000 watts of electricity over some time.
Can Jackery Power A Furnace?
Jackery can power furnaces of different sizes and wattage capacities through Jackery Portable Power Stations and Jackery Solar Generators. Depending on the size and working hours, the appliance's wattage consumption can help you choose a compatible Jackery model.
Here's a table showing the running time of different Jackery Portable Power Stations when they charge a furnace (300W):
Note: The operating wattage is considered 300W. The running time indicated in the table is just for your reference, and the actual time might differ.

Step 1: Check The Started And Rated Wattage Of Furnace
The rated and started wattage is usually mentioned on the device. If it is not mentioned on the device, you can check the user manual for the specific wattages or the volts and amperes of the device. To get the wattage, simply multiply volts and amperes.
Step 2: Check the Started And Rated Output Wattage Of Jackery
Similarly, the power station has its rated and output wattage, which should be checked when choosing the right size of the portable power station. Another way to know the output wattage is by seeing the model number of the power station (not applicable to the plus series). For example, the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 will have a rated output wattage of 1000 watts.
Let’s say you want to run a furnace (600W) with Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus Portable Power Station, then you can calculate the working hours using the formula given below:
Working Hours = Jackery Portable Power Station Capacity in Wh × 0.85 / Operating Wattage of Furnace.
Working Hours = 1264Wh × 0.85 / 600W = 1.8 hours.
Note: While charging the devices, some power loss occurs; hence, multiplied by 0.85.
