but daaaaaaaaaaaaamn was it expensive. Cost of the unit was nothing compared to the install. Drilling holes in my brick, junction boxes, 4 connections to I don't know what. I literally could not believe what all that was involved and how long it took and did I mention how much it cost.
Might have gone with two of the Gaol Zero generators if I had known what I was getting into. I have a small one I use for camping and it works flawlessly, battery always stays above 80 when plugged into a solar panel.

If I can't live without power I would just as soon be done. Got enough food, water and lead for years. Come get some.

Generac is nice until the 500 gallon underground propane tank runs empty and you can’t get another delivery.
IOW, great for short term outage of a week or so. Not so good for a long term emergency. Solar would be better for long term, if you have enough battery storage.

I have a 16KW duel fuel (gas and propane) generator that powers everything I need, including AC. I installed a soft start kit on my AC and it works great. Of course, I lock out the main breaker and just turn on the breakers I need power to. I can go about 2 weeks with it if needed.
