Does this generator power whole house including central a/c?

I hired an electrician to install a 50A circuit breaker and transfer switch in my main breaker box. The transfer switch forces one to shut off the main to the grid and flip the 50A breaker on. He also installed a 50A twist connector outside on the house. I ordered a 50A cable to connect the generator to the house. If the load on the generator doesn’t exceed 50A, one might be able to run the A/C. My A/C is on 30A breaker. I would switch off unnecessary items and slowly switch on items that are needed, like the refrigerator, internet, lamps, etc. I wouldn’t try my electric stove since it’s on a 50A breaker.

12500w have a pull start?

There are three options to start the Westinghouse 12500 portable generator. Singe there is a battery, there is an electric start button and a remote key fob start in addition to the pull start.

Is this a full sine wave generator?

Bill this is a "regular" generator so it is not a full (clean) sine wave generator. "A regular gas generators cannot produce a "clean" sine wave because they change speeds slightly during operation. When the speed changes, the wave changes slightly. This isn't a problem for regular electrical devices like incandescent lights, power tools, "basic" refrigerators, etc."

What is decibel rating of this unit?

The Westinghouse 12500-watt generator is rated at 74 dBA at 100% run.
