Not a terrible price considering it's duel-fuel. Just keep in mind you'll need a wheel kit as this thing is heavy. It'll also be loud and not very fuel efficient.
But Generators like this are usually very reliable. And you'll be damn glad you have it i the event of an outage...
Propane/natural gas heater, yes, electric heat or central air, no.
You need a lot more power, and a 240v generator, to run electric heat and/or central air.
As for the deal, not bad, but I would get this Wen deal (https://a.co/d/hHAbkhw) for $400 right now. A little more power, electric start, has wheels, and is 240v.

Thank you. I have natural gas heater for the house and electric central air. Im just hoping it's enough to run the heater if a winter storm. Thanks again.

I'm not an expert on this, but you may need a connector to your breaker to make the house furnace work with a (portable) generator.

Easiest way is to get something like this to hook up to your furnace. https://a.co/d/bbOq1pT
It lets you run your furnace normally from wall power, but in an outage, just run an extension cord from the generator to this, flip the switch, and the gas furnace will work.
The other option is to hook it into your electrical panel with an interlock switch and inlet and flip off unused breakers (this generator can power stuff like the furnace, refrigerator, internet stuff, TV, and a few other low power items (like a laptop). Depending on your panel, you can bridge to two legs together to be able to run any 120v breaker (normally it will only power 1 side of the panel legs).
