That's right, I forgot to mention that your utility will be much happier if you have your genset connected through a transfer switch so that your generated power doesn't fry some poor Wichita Lineman.

Another good thing about the commercial gensets (Onan, etc.) is that you can always get parts and repair for them. In that respect they are like a Mercedes. The one time I had trouble with my unit, I visited a local generator place. They didn't know me from Adam and had never seen my installation but once I gave them my make and model number, they knew right what to do. Came out and fixed my problem in a couple of hours. You won't get that kind of service on a Wal-Mart cheapo.
