Slapped back to reality not only buy the thoughtful comments here but found the price of a 3000 watt pure sine inverter with smart charger and built in transfer switch ridiculous.
I will forget the idea of electric heat but would like to be able to power Tv's, Satellite, USB charger, Furnace if needed and a coffee maker once a day plus a small microwave for 10 minutes a day.
I will research a 1500 to 2000 watt pure sine inverter with smart charger and built in transfer switch. Is a all in one inverter the way to go or would going with separate units be more practical for purpose of replacement and cost?
