thanks nigel
                cant find out my kw but found out my shower is not electric,will there be enough to power my lights,the aircon im not bothered about.also we have been told by fexa that the electric could be on in about a month would it be cost effective to purchase inverters and batteries or just run the generator constantly as it is petrol.do i wire it up at the fuse board or my post fexa have put on my land.
  sorry but havent got a clue about running the house off a generator as did think elec would be on.
         thanks again for your help
