I assumed he wasn't using the heat as he said there "wasn't much load" hence my question.

If this is the all-electric home and he ran the circuit box with the Hercules, it would have had mucho load on it between the water heater and the heat units. Add to that the fact that a gallon of propane equates to about 2/3 of a gallon of fuel oil. I'd forgotten that Jim had procured a fork lift fuel tank, I remember who fast he emptied a 20lb BBQ can in his initial testing. The one I put at my parents' farm is only 7kw and runs off the 300 gallon tank that they heat the house with, so it's hard to tell how much the generator uses.
