Q. What size generator would run a house?
A.The correct generator size to run a whole house relies on the home's size and power needs. No fixed size exists. You find your needs by totaling the wattage for key appliances to run during power outages. For houses under 1,000 square feet, a 7.5 to 9 kW generator may work. It runs basics: refrigerator, microwave, sump pump. Houses of 1,000 to 1,500 square feet might call for a 10 to 15 kW generator to run an electric oven, water heater. Larger houses of 2,000 to 2,500 square feet may require a 16 to 22 kW generator to run central AC, a washing machine. For houses of 3,000 to 4,000 square feet, choose a 22 to 36 kW generator. To size correctly ask a local electrician or generator installer.
