Default 5500 watt elec hot water heater - 5000 watt generator

I don't know about that. That might be "pushing the envelop" a little
too much.

We got the generator to run a sump pump when the power goes off. That
is the primary use if the pump needs to run a lot. If the pump isn't
running hard, we can turn it off and run the water heater, well pump,
etc.

I'd hate to fry our generator and then have to buy a new one or end up
with a few inches of water in our basement.
