    I'll pass this on to my daughter. Her husband fits the bill.

    I didn't request to join so I don't know much about the topics they discuss. Living in
    Florida with the constant threat of storms, the most prepared I can get is to have a
    whole house generator installed. I can't do solar panels. I DO own a motorhome, so I
    can always avoid the storms by taking "my home" with me. I will always have the use
    of the generator and the gas stove that are a part of the RV.

    Thanks for the info.

    Living in the mountains of North Carolina we are accustomed to power outages. We have a key start generator that runs the entire 1650 sq ft home except the water heater, we have a manual throw valve to run a rv propane water heater if we need hot water during times we have been on generator. It runs 48 hours on a full tank of gas, and the propane rv water heater is connected to the house gas service. It is nice. I want a generac auto start whole house system some day.

    I always heard that Onans were the quietest, but now I am hearing differently. It would
    be a good choice. In my area, we can figure paying around $11-12,000 including
    installation.

    We have natural gas to the house and the perfect spot to place it is where the electric
    meter is located. That is also where the gas meter is as well, and the spot would
    accommodate it well. My only hope is that it isn't too noisy because my next door
    neighbor is fairly close to me.

    We'll see how it goes.
