I am having a well drilled to 400' and will get a 220v 1.5 hp motor
for the pump. I would like to buy a back-up generator in case of
extended power outages. Can anybody tell me what watt generator I
would need? Thanks - Robert

Why stop with well? I have a 7,350 starting watts, 5,500 running watts
generator that handles well, furnace, 2 freezers and refrigerator as well
as a few lights and TV.

Because it can be difficult to find gas during a power outage.
How many gallons a day does that burn?
