I am better equipped to deal with a power outage in the summer than winter.
I have a portable generator with a 30 amp plug. Think it is 5500 watts. It will run any one item in my house other than the heat pump. To replace the heat pump I have a window A/C in my living room that the generator will run and a 9000 BTU propane heater. The problem comes in with the heat pump not running keeping the water lines running in the winter.
So while I have gone over a month (more like 6 weeks) without electricity in the summer I would be in real trouble if the electricity was off today when we never got above freezing for the first time in at least 30 years.
With all of that in mind I can not justify a whole house generator to insure against a once in a life time catastrophe or a luxury item I will use once every 10 to 20 years.
The only thing I want to do to upgrade my system is change my portable generator over to propane so I do not have to be dependent on a 5 gallon gas can.
