[quote=Anonymous]We went with the "If you spend around $1500 (for everything) you can have a large portable generator and an electrician install an outlet and switch to plug it directly into your breaker panel. This becomes (almost) a whole-house generator" option. After losing power in '10 Snowmageddon and the Derecho in '12, I felt it was necessary. We'll have heat, the basement outlets, which includes our wireless router, and most of the outlets - will be able to connect the microwave, TVs, and other small appliances. The dishwasher, stove, washer and dryer won't be powered up. The cost was much more than 1,500K. The generator alone was $900, and the electrician was 1,300K, which included the outlet, breaker box associated with the new outlet and hardware. We can always upgrade our generator and breaker box to include more amps, but my main concern is and was heat. [/quote]
