Sounds like the Honda 2000 is what you need. To run the furnace fan overnight you'll still need some good batteries but can charge them during the day with the generator (unless you're boondocking and don't mind listening to the generator while you sleep).
The only thing on your list that might be out is running the A/C. I just tested mine over the weekend and I can't run the A/C but my A/C is on a 20A breaker so it's close. 120V X 20A = 2400 watts and the generator is 2000 watts.
Anyway, the Honda is very quiet and very reliable but a bit pricey at around $1000. I saw similar unit at Costco made by Yamaha that might worth a look.
The Honda is an amazing piece of equipment. The $1000 stings but that's the last thing even close to negative you'll ever experience with it.
