We were concerned initially about winter storms last year, which thankfully, never happened. We are now ready for outages due to summer storms.
Be sure to look at the Camping Gear page for other emergency ideas.
Dual fuel (gasoline and propane) generator that produces 5500W or 45A peak power. Produces 12V DC, GFCI protected 120V AC and 240V AC via NEMA 14L-30R connector.
This generator will power my entire house during and extended power outage with the exception of air conditioning. I also have a gas furnace, gas water heater and gas stove that only need minimal AC power.
