First of all you probably don't have enough KW to power up your
whole house but you do have enough to keep a few lights on and the
freezer&Refrigerator cold. You might just have enough energy after
that to run your TV and maybe a microwave oven. But I really don't
think you would ever have enough power to run your total house except
if you had a really small house.

I ran our gen-set to power us up a month ago like I said a few
necessary items and only used a 10-3extention cord. It worked good
and it was just easy to run the cord over to the house and attach it
to a plug board with multiple outlets. Oh one other thing I have is a
wood heater and so I don't need to run my gas-fired furnace.
