1. I think you would be a little too small. Most homes are safe at 15KV But the only accurate way to tell is add the voltage for everything you want to run. There are multiple sizing calculators online: https://www.ch.cutler-hammer.com/generatorCalc/wattshow.jsp http://www.kohlerpower.com/residential/solutions/sizingcalculator.htm?sectionNumber=13561&nodeNumber=1&contentNumber=103 I have a 20KV run by a Detroit Diesel 2-71 engine and I run a lot more than you list, but I've heard it labor in the summer when the A/C units are hit real hard.
