For an average household, a generator with an output of 5000 - 8000W is typically sufficient to power essential appliances simultaneously. However, a 2000 - 3000W output generator is enough to power essential household appliances like refrigerators, lights, and TVs. Remember, the size of the generator you need for home backup depends on the power needs of the appliances and how long you want to run them.
