I doubt they want to run the entire house.. I have never even seen a generator run the entire house before and I have worked on some extremely large projects/homes. You always pick a number of must have life safety items to run and a couple important areas of the house to light and put that on the generator. Even with a generator if you really want to protect correctly you still need a UPS for the period of time when the power goes out and the generator starts and gets running. I have worked on 2 houses where we had a single large UPS to cover this down time rather than various UPS's throughout the house. Much easier to install and maintain.

you have never seen a whole house on the generator? that is almost the norm here. i would say at least 50% of our jobs, run whole house generators. 50, 60, 80kW generators and larger. the other 50% pick key circuits to power.
I love supporting product that supports me!
