Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - stand by generators

Our place out at the pond lost electricity for more than a day after severe storms went through. Given that we're out in the sticks, we can expect to be last to get restored power in the future, so we're looking for a good stand by generator using natural gas or liquid propane.

Anybody have any experience with these? What would you recommend? We have all electric, including 2 ton heat pump, for home under 2,000 sq feet. Thanks!

We have a 36KW Generac on propane with a dedicated 500 gallon tank. The larger Generacs are water cooled Mitsubishi 4 cylinder engines just like their small cars and trucks. They are pretty bullet proof. We were out of power 48 hours recently after the storms went through. Two of my neighbors are now getting generators.
