We have a whole house generator thats plumbed to natural gas line but its a last resort use. Mainly in hot summer when we need AC to sleep comfortable. A portable honda 1000 for minor needs yet wasn’t a need yet....
Thankfully, we don't have to use it a lot, but we have had power outages that have lasted more than 2 weeks. :-( I'm just hoping that this winter isn't anywhere near as bad as last year's was.
