[QUOTE="lOOKnGO, post: 16692677, member: 93465"] The largest limiting factor is fuel and or fuel supply. Sure a 22k generator would be nice for up to a week or two, but running for two weeks would cost you nearly 3 thousand in propane and just over 3I in diesel. If you have that money and the means to make sure it can get filled indulge yourself. Do your research on fuel consumption on the units you are interested in and the ability to get said fuel. Dont take for granted you can get said fuel. Natural gas is the best choice if available. Propane is the second and diesel third. Gasoline forth. 500 gallons only lasting one week at 1/2 draw is a no go for my family. I designed our main house with a fireplace on the main floor and a Timberline wood stove that will heat the house and water all winter. Our family is conditioned to live long term comfortably on 3500 watt gen at 4gal a day...... think about that. And if shit really hit the fan we could still manage with less then 2 gallons a day to enjoy luxuries. Again! The choice should be made with fuel consumption in mind. PLUS your ability to acquire fuel. My wife says I'm a prepper and this is just the tip of our experience with supplemental electric. We could do without, but that's a lot more work. [/QUOTE]
