Either way you are talking about a large investment. Otherwise, everyone would be doing it.

I have a generator system that kicks in for the whole house when the power is out. It's tied into my switch panel and kicks in after 15 seconds of no power. You can bet I only use what I need to use when that happens. It sure is handy during ice and thunderstorms! Cost about $5K to install and runs off of natural gas but can pretty easily be converted to gasoline.
