Power stations for a gas furnace blower

A gas furnace blower draws 300 to 875 W, and up to 2,350 W for a moment at startup. The smallest station we chart that handles it is the Jackery HomePower 1000 v2.

By the Power Station Chart team, from published appliance figures and the makers' station specs. Last reviewed October 31, 2026.

From a 1/8 HP blower at 300 W to a 1/2 HP blower at 875 W. Check whether yours runs on 120 V or 240 V.

What decides the size you need

Start at 1,024 Wh for a gas furnace blower. The Jackery HomePower 1000 v2 is the smallest station that handles one, with 1,500 W of AC, and it runs a blower for 60 min to 2.9 h. Blowers range from 300 W for a 1/8 HP motor to 875 W for a 1/2 HP motor, and startup can reach 500 W to 2,350 W. Of 81 stations, 50 handle it, 9 fall short at startup and 22 have too little AC output. Check whether your blower runs on 120 V or 240 V before choosing. A bigger tank buys real time: the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra (3,072 Wh) lists 3 h to 8.7 h.
