On a direct drive generator, you will need 2hp per KW rating. You are going to be looking at a gear reduction generator setup, so I would not know HP requirements there.

You can get a 15kw standby that runs on natural gas or propane that checks itself every month, and starts when power goes out, even if you are gone. Whatever you go with, make sure it is a decent one. There are a lot of "cheap" generators on the market that put out "dirty" electricity and will fry delicate electronics in newer furnaces due to spikes. Jim
