Is there a way to calculate the peak power demand of your house? We use about 70 kWh a day, which is an average of 3 kW per hour. I'm just curious as to what our peak demand would be if we wanted to install a standby generator that could operate the whole house like normal. I looked at our PPL account online and looked through all the data they give us but couldn't find a peak power usage.

So, is there any way to take a guess at peak usage considering our average is 3 kW per hour? I'm obviously not planning to do this before the hurricane hurts, herp derp.
