go big or go home right? lol
that's a pretty big generator.
You could easily maintain essentials with a 5K I would think.
Unless you had some pretty specific power needs that required allot of
juice.
I'll bet that there is a pretty big run on generators in the north east
right now, and for some time to come as people realize how easy it is to
lose power for a significant amount of time.
In fact, I would say being in the business of installing home generators is
going to be a booming business for a while.
