I will be watching this!
I too want to get a small Honda inverter generator, and a practical way to hook it up to the house. Same thing, run the natural gas furnace, modem and router, and maybe the fridge for a hour or two if necessary. We have not had a power outage last more than a few hours in 24 years, except during one ice storm 10 years ago and a 12 hour outage then.
We do have a natural gas fireplace, but it is mostly decorative, and the only time it is lit is when the power is out.
My neighbor spent 12 grand on a Generac whole house generator installation and setup about 6 years ago. In 6 years he says it has been needed for 18 minutes total. That is some expensive electricity at 667 bucks per minute.
