Better to have too much than not enough. A 10kW would be the safer bet of the two, but a 15kW would be even better. If you oversize it a bit it will burn less fuel as well because it won't be working so hard.
What would power a house. If used sparingly would a 5k get it? Run fridges and freezer as well as some lights? AC (central)? I need to overnight now! Storm coming quick and I got a 9 month old. I`d like a deisel. Thanks.

Of your choices 10k if you want to run the HVAC and that might not cut it. 7500 would not start mine. 15k -20k would run everything nicely. I'm looking also. Any hookups out there.
Go big Hoss, you don't want to have to unplug the reefer to run the microwave.... :hammerhea
I really didn`t want to spend 10g. Damn,,, why did I buy that damn Seadoo?
I need one overnighted.
I have a 5.5KW that's only going to run my fridge, some lights and fans, plus my little 5000 BTU window unit AC that I have just for power outages.
If I were shopping for one of those big-boy generators, I'd go with the Cummins Onan from costco.com. They have 15KW, 20KW, and even 45KW. What's cool is they have natural gas and LPG configurations.
Edit: (Sorry Hoss, I didn't see that you wanted one overnighted until after I posted this.)

Good luck.
So you can drive it around like me when it floods. :wink:
