Message: [QUOTE="UChusky916, post: 3876419, member: 1222"] I purchased my current home with a whole-home Generac generator that runs on propane (2 tanks in my backyard). Mine doesn't power EVERYTHING in the home, but probably 75% of the outlets including all of the essentials (Water pump, hot water heater, refrigerator, washer/dryer, etc.). For me, it's been a life-saver. When the microburst hit CT 3 years ago, all surrounding towns lost power, and our neighborhood didn't get it back until 7 days later. I was lucky to have light, charge things, take hot showers, run appliances, etc. My 2 propane tanks were only half empty after the 7-day outage, so it was relatively efficient too. We've lost power a handful of times since then and it's great to have the generator automatically just switch on. For my next house I imagine I'll fork out the $ for one, because it is worth it just for one "catastrophe", and improves the value of your home. Go with Generac. [/QUOTE]
