how long do you run a generator considering the refrigerator or freezer only run a short time till thermostat turns them off. Do you sit and listen for this?

Whenever I've had to rely on generator power after a major event that causes power loss. It depends....
If I am experiencing flooding gen set is on 24/7. After needing to run pumps 24/7... Ill shut the system down overnight..... Fridges and freezers can keep things if power is only off 6-8 hours. If you have a tank type water heater, it will have hot ( warm) water a few hours after a shutdown..
I did this after Sandy... 12 days with no power
