My all electric house is in a rural area.  The generator that came with 
the place is a 20KW Onan,  The bad news is in can't handle the house.  I 
think it is the Aux Heat on the heat pump that is the problem.  I have 
to also power the well pump and the septic pump.

The one thing I made sure of was remote monitoring of the Utility 
power.  I get an email and a text when the power goes out and when it 
comes back.  Unfortunately the generator is not Internet aware.
