Ahh, the libs on here are very free with someone elses money. If you want to spend a lot of money buy two Honda generators.

Obviously there are some things that haven't been disclosed like the size of the house and exactly what needs to be powered. However, if you got lots of dough buy a Honda. If you want to run the essentials for up to a few days buy the $500 LOUD generator and put in a Gentran panel along with a surge protector on the TV. You don't need the computer anyway because all the same bitching and moaning will still be here when the power comes on and it won't take that long to catch up. We power a 1400 square foot home which includes all the lights, the tv, the refer, and runs the fan on the gas furnace with a generac brand generator. The tv is 9 years old and it hasn't blown yet but it is surge protected. I don't run the computers, etc because when the power goes out, I don't want to work anyway because I have to make sure the snow doesn't cave in the Costco tarp carport over the boat. We don't have a well, public water, but there is 50 gallons sitting in the hot water tank that should last a while if the big one hits. The range is gas and if that isn't an option, the Webber is always 1/2 full of propane so I can cook whatever I want, even pizza as long as Papa Murphy's is running.
