I have a 3,500 Watt, max 4,000 and I have ran it continues for a week or more at a time. It is only 110 and I ran an extension cord from the old chicken house were it sat to house thru a window. Far enough away fumes were not an issue. Would not run water pump so would not be trying to use washer or dishwasher, the furnace is gas but need electric to operate but it is hardwired so could not plug it to generator but I do have backup LP heat that does not need power to operate. It ran the 2 refrigerators, freezer, all plug in lights we wanted, the TV and computor at same time with no problem. Gas cook stove using only enough to lite a burner or the clock-timer. I kept dozens of old milk jugs for washing water and orange juice-lemonade jugs for drinking water on hand. Used them as if not entirely cleaned nothing to be in there that would spoil and make you sick, if there was something from the milk not being completely cleaned out it made no difference to the toilet. I am thinking you should be able to run everythingyou mentioned without problems except that water heater I know nothing about and if it only requires electric for controls you should be good with everything. You did not mention an electric cook stove so that should not be a problem there and doughtfull if in time you would be out of power you would need to run washer or dryer so just not turn them on. No ned to unhook, just do not try to use. Nothing about a well here so that could be a contribting factor but you should be able to run everything needed to keep house going without thinking about unhooking anything. You are not saying anything about outbuildings or livestalk so assume you don't have that to be figured in like some others that are saying 30,000 is not big enough.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
