Our electric service is on the opposite side of the house from the propane tank. We checked on a whole house propane unit and install, it was eye popping expensive.
I decided portable units would be good enough for us. After adding 2 more freezers the 2400 Yamaha would have been maxed out so I took a chance on a Horrible freight 3500 inverter.
I can buy a bunch of really nice drop cords for the $4k install fee.
We really only lose power because of hurricanes and then only sporadically. Might be a few hours or a few weeks, never know how that's going to go down.
I do drag them out and test run them at least twice a year, draining the fuel afterwards.
Pizz on a hurricane.
