Generator Recommendations?

Descant · 08-11-2020, 11:03 PM

In 2004 we installed a 6KW Dayton standby propane generator. A few things were noit fully powered, dishwasher an clothes dryer, electric oven, primarily. Cook top is gas. No central AC, but window units are fine if we lose power in the summer. Sounds like most companies oversell these days. Our house is 3200 sf, oil HW heat. 65 KW is fine. Big request in 2004 was to keep the computers running. Damn! When the power lines go down, so do the Comcast lines.
Anyway, most don't need 14-20 KW.
