I have an old Onan 5000 watt generator.It runs a 1800 rpm and has a big muffler so noise is not a problem.I never ran it full time.Just enough to keep the freezer and refridgerator cold.It ran the washer and tv or the oil furnace.Most of our heat came from a wood burning kitchen stove or a stove in the living.Used it to run the post office mornings.Kept it in the back of my pickup so it could be moved around and used at several neighbors houses.power was out here for 10 days and longer during the ice storm.Power was out for 2 weeks at home when I was 10 years old.Our house used wood and kerosene plus there was a ton of coal in the cellar.I keep 5 gallons of kerosene for lamps and plenty of candles on hand the cost to be ready for long power outage is small,but a lot of people around here didnt own one candle when the ice storm hit.People were out of food in a few days.I still think a small generator used properly is best way for most people.A Dairy or Poultry farm does need a big tractor power generator.My friend ran a small generator for 24 hours and used 10 gallons of gas.I told him that was not the was to do it.When my onan generator runs out side the barn you cant hear it in the house.
