He said an 8 or 10KW would run the whole house but....watch what you are using. Running the washing machine, micro wave and stove could be the only problems.

My stove is propane and microwave is just 500W or so. My biggest problem would be my electric water heater. I think the best option would be instant-on propane.

My neighbors have those water heaters and they love them. Problem we have here is we are all electric. That could be good or bad I guess. If you can’t get propane....no hot water. That’s why I was thinking about a diesel generator.
