We had a Generac whole house generator in northern Wisconsin that ran on natural gas. It was great as all the power lines were above ground and we had quite a few power failures. Some for a few days to a week once. It was great having heat, freezer and fridge running, and being able to stay at home and sleep in our own beds. Before we installed it we had to travel a 100 miles once to find power at a motel. We both have CPAP machines. So it was a great addition. We traveled between the Villages and Wisconsin for 14 years, we moved here in 2001. Then we sold the home in Wisconsin and became full time Villagers.
I do not feel that a generator is required in The Villages as all the years we have lived here we have not been without power for much over a few hours in a day. Even the last hurricane that went through here we never lost power. All the Villages power is underground which makes it much more reliable. Therefore we left the generator in Wisconsin as the new home owner up there decided they wanted it.
That is my thoughts. Also there are not many generators in the villages, although all Publix grocery stores do have generators, Winn Dixie and Fresh Market does not.
