We just moved to a house on an island. Has city water and gas but no sewer. Just had septic redone in Dec. Ouch. Anyway the house, built in 2000, has a 22KW Generac generator. SO NICE. A tad noisy but the central air muffles it smile Setup to start on the first Sat of the month to do a quick test and warm up. Have had the power go out like 3 times in 1-1/2 years and its GREAT not having to worry. Only bad thing is when the island loses power we dont get internet or cable TV (first world problems). Luckily the cell phoine tower is 1000ft away on the "main land") so I can cast Dave Chappelle from my phone.

Even though mine says Generac all over it, it also has Siemens on it too. If it's Siemens (German) it has to be good.
