Yes, an 8kVA generator can run a small house. A generator this size should be able to adequately power a one ton air conditioner, 18 cubic foot refrigerator, and other small appliances normally found in a small house.

It will not operate an average home. Most new home services today have a 200 amp service. To operate everything in the home this would take a 50 kw generator. A 25 kW generator if the home service is 100 amps. A 5 kW generator will service a few essential circuits. This is best done with extension cords run from the generator to the equipment. To install a standby generator into your home system will take an electrical contractor so that the proper permits and inspection are done to the inspector's satisfaction.
