For both peace of mind and practicality, I'm buying a standby generator. A friend of ours who works for the local electric system estimated our house would take 8,000 watts, max. Considering our furnace, water heater, and kitchen range are all propane, does this sound reasonable?
Obviously, during a power outage in the winter the furnace and the well are the two most important things to keep going. The house is 1800 square feet on one floor with 6" outside walls and extra insulation. There's a lot of stuff we could turn off if we had to.
Menard's have a 10,000 watt peak unit on sale for $800+ that looks attractive. I've figured out how to wire it in, but I'm having a local electrician back me up on it. When it's zero degrees with the power off is no time to find out you didn't do something right.
The last outage we had was several years ago when the power went off on Christmas Eve and came on the next morning so outages are not a real concern, but when they occur it's under the worst conditions.
