The generac site is saying I only need the 7.5k or 10kw but that seems pretty lightweight.
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.

Gotcha, the house is already hooked up to propane so i didnt put the oven on there and removed garage doors since i dont have any.
looks like i can get away without spending 30k though. Which is good.
