We are looking to buy a new stick and brick house close to the grand kids and when completed want to equip it with a standby generator...
For those with a standby generator what fuel type do you have? LP? Natural gas?
Also our fifth wheel has an Onan 5500W gas generator built in...can this be used via a transfer switch to run the house if needed? is 5500W big enough to run the whole house?
Thanks for your time...
we have a 12KW Koehler stand-by genset powered by natural gas. as for your 5.5kw genny...depends on how big your house is and what yoyu mean by "whole house". we could've gotten by with a smaller genny if we didn't care about being able to run the central air with the genny but we did.
