The ultimate would be the very expensive natural gas units wired to the house with an auto start. Big bucks. Our power is pretty reliable.
Me too on the "I want a generator." The one I've been looking at is a 8kw, permanently connected to the house, runs on natural gas. We are gone a lot and I need one that will come on automatically and keep the furnace and sump pumps going.
The low end price I got was under $8k, the upper was just under $10k. I sold my truck to a guy whose job is maintaining these home systems and ask about them. He said Generac is an OK brand, Kohler is the Cadillac, but either way get one with a two cylinder engine.
