What I have found is, you can buy duel, or even thi fuel portable generators, Gasoline, Natural gas or Propane, on Amazon, the best price I found. depending on what you want to run, the basic Westinghouse the one we bought, for $369.00 3600/4650 watt, gasoline only, Just to run the freezer, refrigerator, gas heater fan, or wood stove fan, and a few lights. We have a wood stove, and plenty of fire wood.  The automatic transfer switch is just for convenience. you can get any electrician to install a 30/50 amp power inlet box, and breaker, depending on the size generator you need, to bring the power into your breaker box, mark, and turn off the stuff you don't have to have, manually, and turn off the main so the power don't go back down to line, and hurt someone working on the line, they will install a device that won't allow the main, and the generator inlet breaker, to be on at the same time for safety! Whole house generic type are great if you are willing to spend $15,000.00/$20,000.00, We will likely have less than $1,000.00 total including, the new generator, 30 amp extension cord, electrician, and parts.</p></blockquote><p></p>
