We don't have natural gas where I live and they are not gonna bring it out here , same goes for cable TV .

i only have one 100 gallon propane tank now . It's expensive as gas so not sure which way I wanted to go .

Seems as money wise - the gas generator which is half the money is the way to go - at 17500 watts I can hard wire it with an outside box , just plug it in and go . Also with the electric start , my wife can turn it on little complaint ( I hope ) .

I have a 2.5 ton heat pump / air conditioner unit and a small 1000 SF house with full basement .
