Small generator will power a fridge, chest freezer, and a window AC unit (makes sleeping tolerable)- cook on your BBQ

I installed a 15KW Propane home generator with a switch box that monitors the public utility line. Power out generator switches on and I have my power restored in 10 seconds. Power back generator shuts down and switches me back over.
I have it wired to run about 1/2 my house and my central air.
Before that I had a gas powered 5550 watt generator and then I packed my freezer with water bottles like you do.
We have a water service so we always have 40 gallons on hand.
