That’s why I mentioned that the generator could be used to run a gas furnace. Furnace fan motors are typically 120 volts, and will require much less wattage than electric heaters, so if at all possible you should make it possible to use your gas furnace in a power outage. Letting your house freeze up is not a good idea at all.
That kind of cold doesn’t happen often in TX, but as we just saw, when it does happen, it’s bad. I’m “next door” in AR, and it got cold enough here that I was having to pay very close attention to how cold the vulnerable water pipes in my house were getting. Some of my neighbors didn’t pay attention and had frozen/broken water lines.
