Agree with Daybreak and do/get an audit for your power usage. You'll need to having everything running including sumps and water pumps in order to get a max usage. In this case, bigger is better. The auto switch is a must if you are doing your whole house in that there may be times that you aren't home to manually throw switches and start the gen. We have a whole house genset (wish it was bigger) and it has been operated flawlessly for over ten years. Go with propane as it is easier what with no middle of the night or storm filling. Suggest aircooled motor as it is a lot easier to maintain....the noise isn't too bad!
