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.

What's more beneficial a whole house generator or single gas generator?

I have done a little bit of research on this, and can tell you that a whole house generator is the way to go, if you can afford it. They are hardwired into your home's electrical system, and will usually run your whole house. A single use generator is usually very noisy, and limited as to how much it can power at one time in your home.


If my house has a 200 amp line what size generator would it take to run the house and have the same power?

Your house runs nowhere near 200 amps, so you need to make a list of appliances and fixtures that you use, or that you will need while the generator is running, and add their power consumption together. Add some extra capacity for growth and so the generator is not always at full power. Then talk to dealers about generators with the amount of power you need. To run the house on a generator with the same capacity as the service that you have in your house you would need a 50 Kilowatt generator.


Is a 2.8 kilowatt generator big enough to run a house as a standby?

No, a 2800 watt generator is not large enough to run a home as stand by power. For a generator ot produce 100 amps a 25,000 watt or 25 kW generator would be needed. Since a house uses about 50 to 60 amp at any one moment during normal everyday living, a 60A x 240V = 14,000 watts. A 15 kW generator would be the minimum size generator to run a house without cutting back on any loads.


Is 25kw generator able to run a whole house?

It depends on the size of your house and its power requirements. A 25kW generator can power an average-sized home with essential appliances such as refrigerators, lights, and heating systems during a power outage. However, it may not be sufficient for larger homes with higher power demands. It's recommended to assess your home's energy needs to determine the appropriate generator size.


How big of a generator does it take to run a oxygenerator at home?

The size of the generator needed to run an oxygen generator at home depends on the power requirements of the oxygen generator. Make sure to check the power consumption of the oxygen generator in watts and choose a generator that can handle that load with some extra capacity to account for start-up surges. It's best to consult with the manufacturer of the oxygen generator for specific power requirements.

Can a 7000 watts generator power a house?

A 7000 watt generator us typically intended for 2 - 15 or 20 amp circuits at 120 volts or 1 - 30 amp circuit at 240 volts. When you say, "power a house," if you mean the whole house the answer is, No. You would need a generator capable of supplying a continuous 24000 watts or more to do that. But a 7000 watt generator is a nice one for powering some lights and your gas furnace blower during a power outage when properly connected. I do not know what the wattage is of an electric furnace to know if it can run one of those.
