Can a 11000 generator run a whole house?
11,000 watts will run a LOT of things. It MAY run an entire house- depending on the power used by the house. IF the house has electric heat, a deep well pump and electric water heater, maybe not. Gas heat, gas water heater, no well pump, probably yes. You need to add up the wattage used by all systems, add 50% to things that have a starting current (large motors like pumps or heat pumps) and see what you total usage is.
