only half the equation
The trick here is how to fuel the thing... If you have oil heat you want a diesel generator. If you have natural gas you need a nat gas generator. If you don't want to think about LP and a tank then gasoline is the only real sourse left. If you hire an electrician to hook it up, plan a grand for that (includes switch box and cord). I have a gasoline driven generator. Problem is now you need to go looking for gas, last year during an ice storm we had to wait 2 hours in a gas line. Plan to have plenty of fuel jugs. However, If you have oil, you can use your oil on a diesel generator (same fuel).
