Depends on the size of your home and other needs We have a home, a guest house, and a barn. Everything, including water (from the well) is electric, so we definitely do not want to be out of power! We researched what we needed and wanted and turned down the deisel because of the noise factor.

What we ended up purchasing was the Guardian Quietsource 25. It was over $7000 and the propane tank and propane were extra, as were the electrician’s fees. Figure about $10,000 total where we were concerned.

Of course, since we installed it, there have been no power outages in our area! There were before, though... Still, it is nice to know it is there. It runs a test cycle once a week for ten minutes to keep things operational and let us know it is ready to go online when needed.Do as many websearches as you can to find out everything you can which will best suit what you want and need.

Call the places and ask questions. It’s an enormous amount of money to put out, even if you get a smaller one, and you want to make very sure you have the best you can get for the money you spend. Found nothing on Amazon, but here: residentialgenerators.eaton.com/?gclid=C... electricgeneratorstore.com/ zillerelectric.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Scre... we bought from this third company and the generator we bought is pictured at the bottom of the page.

Because it is permanantly set on a concrete foundation outside, we needed it to be completely weather protected.

My dad just had one installed, several years ago Wyoming was hit by yet another major winter with major snow fall Our family lives so far away from town and even the interstate that when power goes all we had were candles and an old diesel Genny! The winters are hard and long when one lives 25 miles from town or neighbor. One does not want to get caught with his pants down, so to speak!

So he had one installed it wasnt cheap but well worth the money! The following link will show you the best emergency generator: GUARDIAN Automatic Standby Generators View Without Flash. The #1 selling.

Honda When I built my house (rural) I intentionally wired it (had a generator cable and switch at the main box) to accommodate a generator, since power went out routinely. I got one of the Honda EM series, because it would run everything, and it was very quiet, durable, and reliable. If you are just looking for something to run lights, fridge, computer, (not dryer, a/c, etc..) they have smaller ones as well.

Consult an electrician. Depending on the needs of your house, you may need more or less generator. If you have a Lowes in yur area, they are currently (at least in my region) selling complete standby generator kits, with documentation that will help with this, particularly if you are a do-it-yourselfer.

I have an 8 kilowatt generator with 13 kilowatt surge capacity (it takes more juice to get a motor turning than to keep it turning) The generator can power any function in my house, as long as I manage my usage so as not to try to run it all at once. However, to hook up that generator to put power into my entire house would be either expensive or unsafe, and is also impractical. For this general size of generator, there is a simple "transfer panel" that can be connected to your panel to allow you to safely connect specific parts of your house to the generator without inadvertantly sending electricity back along the power lines.

Also, NEVER run your generator inside your garage, or any other building, particularly if it is attatched to the house. (if you have a freestanding shop with a roll-up door, then it should be reasonable to have the generator under cover of the roof, with the door open) the reason for this is that your generator will give off carbon monoxide in its exhaust, which can create an unhealthy environment inside an enclosed space. (the exception to this is a properly installed system on a permanently installed generator, in a generator room or enclosure) TheLightWorks's Recommendations 6-5000 Manual Generator Transfer Switch Panel 120/240V 40A CSA & ETL.
