I was a neophyte when it came to emergency power. Heard a lot of stories and believed some. After reading a lot of comments like this at Electric Generator Direct, I bought the above set. And I'm very satisfied.
I recently moved to Florida and knew that sometime I'd need auxiliary power. I have a natural gas home and was considering a natural gas generator but was talked out of it by a local contractor. First, they are much more expensive that gasoline for the output. Next, he explained that all gas stations have emergency power to pump gas so I don't need to store a lot of gas which I was reluctant to do.
I bought a 7500 watt generator with a 10-circuit manual transfer switch. An electrician is scheduled this weekend to make the connections. The electrician told me he has a generator just like mine and that it isn't as noisy as others.
I should say I bought the Briggs & Stratton because I feel parts and repairs will be available.
My house has natural gas for the hot water heater, stove and furnace. I don't know if the 7500 watt unit will run the house 3-1/2 ton AC (40 amp) but will try it and see. If so, I'll run the 8-10 110v circuits during outages and switch them off to run the AC in-between.
If not, I'll buy a large window AC for the house.
Thanks to your site and the comments of others, I was able to make a purchase with no fear of the consequences.
