I have a 10kW Generac for our house. Had it for about 17+ years. The longest we've been without power once was four or five days. I originally bought the generator as a source of power while building the house but never needed it for that purpose. I have it wired into the power panel thru a transfer panel mostly for some lights, freezer, and refrigerator. They've updated the power lines in the area to resist fires, so there have been less outages in the last couple of years. If I had to replace the generator, I'd go with batteries, since we have solar panels. My second choice would be a diesel generator. Although my set up has worked out well for us, I just don't like air cooled engines for a generator set up.
