A 7000 watt generator us typically intended for 2 - 15 or 20 amp circuits at 120 volts or 1 - 30 amp circuit at 240 volts. When you say, "power a house," if you mean the whole house the answer is, No. You would need a generator capable of supplying a continuous 24000 watts or more to do that.

But a 7000 watt generator is a nice one for powering some lights and your gas furnace blower during a power outage when properly connected.

I do not know what the wattage is of an electric furnace to know if it can run one of those.

A 2000 watt generator will work in this application very nicely. The equation to keep in mind is Watts = Amps x Volts.

A power of 700 Watts, or 700 Joules per second, can run 700 Watts of lighting or a half-horse power electric motor. It could run up to 4-5 average TV sets, 3 tower PCs or 20 laptops. It could supply about 200 phone-chargers. Mechanically 700 watts is also nearly one horse-power in theory. and it could lift a 70-kg mass at a speed of 1 metre per second.

How much load will a 7000 watt generator run?

It depends on the load it is under, the size of the engine, who made the engine (Honda, Tecumseh, Briggs & Stratton, etc) and I'm sure many other factors. We have 3500 watt Honda generators at work that will run 12 hours on a 2.5 gallon tank under light load (a single power tool and/or battery charger).
