Yes we are, get arc approval and appropriate permits, for some reason I do not understand I have 2 or more neighbors with these. Our power never failed during IRMA and in the 8 years we have lived here I can count to outages on one hand with only one as i recall lasting more than 10 minutes.

Infrastructure is underground and less than 15 to 25 years old in most of TV. It shouldn’t fail

Generac generators are wonderful but like all generators relatively noisy. And standby generators need to run weekly for a short period of time. With houses so close to each other that could be a problem. Perhaps a small portable inverter like those used for RVs?

Should have cruised through the Historic Division after Irma. I'm not going to change your mind or even try but I guess depending on where you live would sway your decision on the Generator thing.

I have one that will give us A/C, Refrigeration, and TV and Internet. That's if the Manufactured House doesn't blow away, God forbid.

Many people went an entire week with no electric. SAD, bad Duke. They have promised that things have been improved. We'll see.

You can stand next to a Generac and hardly hear it. They are the greatest. If I had a house and not a Manufactured Home I would get a Generac Pronto. Peace of mind is priceless.

When we do move it will be a house and it will be in the Historic Section only.

Did you get one installed ? You don’t say that in your OP. How much?

I don't know what model you are referring to. But, last week, when we had a short power outage, I walked past a house with a Generac whole house unit. It was much noisier than the typical HVAC unit. I could hear it about half a block away. It was a relatively new unit, installed within the past 2 years.
