Watts = Volts*Amps

So, if you're running a house at 120 Volts the Watts you've indicated would only produce about 71 Amps.

Most modern homes have 200 Amp service, which does not mean that the house uses 200 Amps all the time.

In realty, most of us use far less than that, with a few lights and maybe a blower motor on the furnace plus a television and a computer.

All those devices might add up to between 20 and 30 amps, but during peak time there might be 80 or 90 Amps, especially when the hair dryers, electric stove and other appliances are all turned on.

To give more accurate information you'll need to know more about the electrical usage of the individual houses.
