Need a lot more info. I ran my house for many years during outages on a cheap Homelite 4400 watt generator and it worked fine, in a pinch. Had a 220 volt 1/3 horse deep well pump and a hot-air oil furnace, along with the lights, refrigerator, and miscellaneous. I had to make sure though, that the water did not come on while the furnace was on.
You've got to figure just how much you want to be able to do while power is down- and for how long. Sometimes during long outages, fuel is not available locally - so try to plan on having your own.
I also ran with a 15KW PTO genset hooked to a 28 horse tractor and we ran the entire household without ever lugging the tractor. Never heard it work hard. Electric hot water heater, oil hot-air furnace, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, 1/3 horse 220 volt well pump, computers, TV, lights, etc.
I'm on solar now, with battery backup, so running a generator is not an issue anymore. That is, unless we have a long outage and many cloudy days. Then I'll have to run a gen to power my 48 volt battery charger, to keep the battery bank up.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
