Ive been looking into this but is only needed for a small house and run off my propane tank.
The generac site is saying I only need the 7.5k or 10kw but that seems pretty lightweight.

Lots of upsell on these things. 10kw is realistically plenty

Your generator sizing is nearly entirely dependent on the size of your AC. Then after that you’d need to take into account any other 240V loads (oven, drier, cooktop, etc). If your house is small enough 10kW may be reasonable. But if you’re on the ragged edge sizing wise it may be smart to oversize your unit a bit.
