Hi,
I use my autoformer a lot. My comfort zone is 107 volts and up. Strictly speaking, an autoformer is not an isolation device. It is a single wind transformer with more than one tap. In my case, it has 3 layers of boost (110, 100, 90) and one of buck (135).
The Sola Basic is "fast enough" to boost in less than 1/3 of a second when the roof air cycles on.
Thanks to Mex it has state of the art surge protection.
Here is a link that may assist you by comparing cost of electric vs propane:

I do have a modest solar panel system.
