The difference between being able to power your entire house vs running individual extension cords to things in a house is minimal at best.

A 5000 watt generator will power 90% of an average house.

This. Most people have a furnace that's wired in, so you can't easily plug it into a generator. Just make damn sure you turn off the mains when you plug in the generator! And if you have LED lights, the additional power drain is minimal, might as well use them instead of wasting batteries.
