Our situ is different, as we don't have piped nat gas up here on the
Mtn; most of us run on propane from a big buried/hidden tank.
But, nearly all of us up here have a Generac brand, stand alone,
whole house generator, as we lose power for hours/day, several
times per year. Ours is 7 yrs old, and other than a couple
of glitches, runs like a top: it comes on 20 sec after loss of power,
runs 85% of the entire fooking house, (you will probably only need
to power <50% of your house, imo), turns off seamlessly and
comes on once per week to exercise itself. It is "hard wired" into
our elec. system.
One neighbor has a diesel version, which is quite economical in
terms of fuel usage, and that diesel version offers the ability to
run 24/7 almost indefinitely vs. our air cooled version which
shuts down for half an hour every ~10 hrs or so, to cool itself.
I would look hard at the Generac site; lots of good info.
Some friends have gasoline powered Hondas that run like
tops, but gasoline storage is a slight consideration...
Good Luck in your search. mD
