I had a portable generator for a few years. I wanted to upgrade to something that would power most of my house, but didn't want to deal with gasoline. Also, I don't have piped in natural gas.

I live in an area that loses power alot. I have the unit hooked up to my boiler,water pump, fridge, some lights, pellet stove, and microwave. The unit works every time.
