Could someone give me a ballpark size of generator to buy if I want to run 2 refrigerators, a forced hot air furnace blower, and maybe a TV or a few lamps?

Thank you.
Checked for you with my father who was in charge of emergency power plants at NJ Bell, and he recommended a generator between 4000 and 5000 watts to run all that. We presently have several offices here at Verizon NJ running on generators. My brother is presently a power tech still working for VZ and he put in lots of OT this weekend.
