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.

Some equipment does not show the wattage on its nameplate. To find the wattage use the following formula Watts = Amps x Volts.

If you average 2000 kw of usage per month what size generator do you need?
You would need to size your generator to power the items that you need to power during a power outage (freezer, refrigerator, etc.). The fewer items you need to power the smaller the generator you can get. Items such as water heaters, air conditioners/heat pumps and electric furnaces use more energy than most smaller generators can supply. Any one item plugged into a 15 amp outlet would use less than 2000 watts each (max). A 5000 watt (continuous rating) generator should have no problem powering a refrigerator, a freezer and a few lights. Larger items like A/C, water heaters and electric furnaces would need to be turned off for a generator this size.
