I attended a mini conference today for Emergency
Communications. There was a great workshop on using a small gas generator
to power the essential items in your house. The presenter uses a Honda EU2000i inverter/generator. This is a generator
that I am familiar with and actually would love to have. It is a small,
quiet, and easily portable generator that puts out clean power very
efficiently.
I think it is important to have multiple plans for back-up
power. For short-term power I think that a gas generator is the way to
go. I don't believe it is practical to plan on running a generator
non-stop. This is where your plan needs to come into play.
For short-term up to 24 hours, I plan to use the generator
for lights, and other essentials (like TV for the kiddos).
For longer power outages, it is not practical to have gas on
hand to last for extended periods. This where I plan to use solar and
battery power.
