We do have a portable that we have gotten by with. But hubby puts off starting it to make sure it works, and I am totally inept when it comes to that. And I wouldn’t be able to lug it to where it needs to be.
I just want to be able to flip a switch and have my well work, my oxygen concentrator, and maybe a computer now and then. I have battery pack for the O2, but would need to recharge it every 3 days.
You would want a fixed generator on an auto standby switch. You could even do a portable generator, just keep it plugged in with the auto standby, just make sure it’s protected from the elements, which is what I’m going to do. I’m going to build a concrete pad for it and build a small shed for it with an exhaust port. It also helps if you have push button start. Easy peasy. Just unplug it from the house and start it up, let it run for a while. I’ll be running mine at least once a month to keep it fresh.
