I have two 8,000-watt portables in big plastic enclosures under my front porch. Plus, I have a Honda 1000-watt inverter generator for computers. If we lose power, I just open up one of the big boxes and fire one up. I keep the other one for a backup or switch the two if needed to fuel up one. I run cords through a front window and tape up around it with duct tape to keep fumes out. If I didn't already have this set up, I might be interested in a whole house generator. I live in town, and we rarely have long power failures. Our electrical feed to the house in underground so, losing power over an ice storm ripping the feed off the house can't happen like it did to houses here 20 years ago. Also, we have a fireplace and two ricks of wood we can use if needed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
