I'd say I have something in between. I have a WEN GN875i: https://www.amazon.com/WEN-GN875i-Transfer-Switch-Ready-8750-Watt-Generator/dp/B08STWSWLH/

That's 7kw rated and 8.75kw peak. More than enough to support my home.

Yeah, plenty of juice.



My all electric house is in a rural area.  The generator that came with the place is a 20KW Onan,  The bad news is in can't handle the house.  I think it is the Aux Heat on the heat pump that is the problem.  I have to also power the well pump and the septic pump.

The one thing I made sure of was remote monitoring of the Utility power.  I get an email and a text when the power goes out and when it comes back.  Unfortunately the generator is not Internet aware.
