Message: [QUOTE="Platt81, post: 3875320, member: 6482"] An outdoor hot tub when working at its max capabilities will draw 35-40 amps. On the high end that 9600 watts at full load. A typical 3000 sq ft house would work fairly well on a 20-22kw generator, with load shedding modules on the ac and not using an electric oven. You would need to go minimally 30kw to comfortably power your whole house, and hot tub. If you were to do such install in CT you would be minimally $18-20,000 for generator, transfer switch, pad, electric and gas hookup. Even a 20kw generator is going to cost you $6500 just for generator and transfer switch not accounting for labor and all other materials needed for it to run. [/QUOTE]
