when the power went out for 5 days two weeks ago, I could run the entire house on a $1200 generator. The gas furnace (600 watts), gas stove, gas dryer, and gas water heater used very little electricity. At some point Ill connect the generator to the natural gas line too. My friend with a brand new heat pump could not run the heatpump off his generator (6kw). I do like induction and use an induction hotplate for a few things and actually wouldnt mind having an induction stove with a small propane stove for when the power goes out.
