With a furnace and pump I'd wonder if 40 amps is enough.  I wouldn't go any 
less than 40 though.

  Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Transfer switch


  I am planning on putting in a transfer switch and sub-panel for my generator 
  that is a 5.7 K or running at 55700 watts. Should I put in a 30 amp or 
  forty amp transfer switch with a 6 circuit panel. What I will be placing in 
  the sub-panel is a circuit for each of the following. refrigerator, freezer, 
  sump pump, furnace, and a 220 well pump. I am not planning on running all 
  the above at one time, while running the generator. I will be placing a 
  circuit breaker in the main to hook up the transfer switch and removing the 
  above circuits for the appliances from the main box and placing them in the 
  sub-panel.
