Hello,
Forum members may want look into MEP803a generators if you'd like serious back-up (or constant) generation.

I bought one for $3,800 with 11 hours on it. Maybe that's way too much for some, but I thought it was well worth it.

Here in NE many people heat with diesel...I plumbed mine right into my 275 gallon tank - so run time should not be a problem.

Quiet, stout, and reliable.

My $0.02
-Tony
