What else can I help you with?
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.
What size wind generator to run 3 bed house?
A 5-15 kW wind turbine would typically be sufficient to power a 3-bedroom house, depending on the specific energy needs of the household and the average wind speed in the area. It's important to conduct a detailed energy audit to determine the appropriate size of the wind generator needed for your specific situation.
Can you take a 12000 watt gas powered generator and replace the gas engine with a electric motor to run the generator?
A 15 KW generator won't likely run everything in your house, but besides that it is not efficient. You will be using more electricity to run the generator than the power would deliver. You also defeat the reason for the generator - run your house when power goes out. Now if you had a wind turbine turning a generator you have a positive contribution to house power. This is how wind power works. There are also lots of issues associated with a power transfer switch and feeding power back into the grid.
What size home standby generator do you need for a 4500 square foot house?
A 22-27 kW home standby generator would generally be suitable for a 4500 square foot house. However, factors like energy usage, appliances, and climate can impact the recommended size, so a professional assessment is recommended for accuracy.
If all the breakers in your house added up to 765 amps how big of a generator would you need to buy?
You would size the generator to match the main breaker size rather than on the sum of all the breakers. The main breaker size depends on the specific model of the circuit breaker panel - 100 Amps is typical for a house. The main breaker protects the circuit panel's bus bars from overheating, and the bus bar size is what limits the maximum power through the panel. Power = Volts x Amps, so a 100 Amp panel at 240 Volts could be operated by a 24,000 Watt (24 kW) generator. That's a pretty big generator in household terms, so often only a subset of the circuits would be allocated to the generator. Or, you just be careful not to turn everything on when using the generator. The actual Watts used depends on what's turned on, not the generator size or total capacity of all the circuit breakers. If you turn on too much stuff with an undersized generator, the generator's overload protection will trip and cut it off. Or if you load all the circuit breakers to capacity the main breaker will trip. In addition to these basic considerations there are a considerable amount of electrical codes governing connecting a generator to your house. The major one is to have a switch that prevents connecting your generator to the utility input, which precludes you from inadvertently energizing the utility lines.
What size generator is needed for a three bedroom house?
A generator for a three bedroom house would be medium sized. Try a small to medium sized generator that can be found online or at any hardware store in your neighborhood.

Why is bedroom important in a house?
The bedroom is where the occupants would sleep.
How do I determine correct home generator sizing for my house?
I would consider what kind of house you have where you have it. Like for example if it is in Arizona then you defiantly want a generator that can power air conditioning which takes about 20000 watts.
Would the electricity needed to heat a house come from a generator or a dry cell?
The electricity needed to heat a house typically comes from the grid or a local power plant, not from a generator or a dry cell. Generators are usually used as backup power sources for temporary or emergency situations, while dry cells, like batteries, are not designed to provide the continuous high power output required for heating a house.
How much would a 5 bedroom house in the Peak District cost?

Where can I find the most suitable generator for 5-bedroom house?
Home generators come in many different shapes and sizes, or rather power outputs. There are a variety of sources that can be used to figure out how big of a generator you will need for your house. The first one is the electric company. Contact them, and ask about options. Then, I would look at Costco, Lowes, Home Depot, ACE, or any other store you can find for pricing.
How do I change to a gas power generator?
If you were wanting to change an electric power generator to a gas power generator, I would probably not do it on my own. Instead I suggest you call a professional to change it for you.
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.
Who would benefit from owning a honeywell generator?
Honeywell generators keep an extra amount of backup power in case of an emergency power outage. This assures that you will always have electricity supplied to your house.
Where can I find information that compares a gas generator versus an electric generator?
A gas generator generates electricity and can be used as a backup in a power outage. I am not certain what you mean by an electric generator. If there was a power outage, how would an electric generator work?
