Cummins Onan portable
Inverter portable generator, gasoline / lp / ng. Ships to your door — no installation, no permit, no electrician.
Inverter generators produce clean power - low total harmonic distortion - which means you can run laptops, routers, modern TVs and variable-speed equipment off it without worrying about what the waveform is doing to them. They are also dramatically quieter than a conventional open-frame set, and they throttle down when the load is light instead of running flat out.
Running gasoline / lp / ng is the practical advantage here. Gasoline degrades in months and is the reason most stored generators will not start. Propane does not degrade at all, so a unit kept on LP is far more likely to fire on the first pull after sitting through a mild year.
Ship weight is 220 lb. Portables cover essentials during an outage: refrigeration, lights, well and sump pumps, phones and networking. They do not run central air conditioning, which in a Texas summer is usually the load that actually matters — if that is your concern, a permanently installed standby unit is the honest answer.

No installation, no permit, no site survey. Unlike a standby generator, this is the whole number.

$2,424.00, and that is what you pay - there is no installation, no permit and no electrician involved with a portable. It ships to your door.
It is rated at roughly 11,000 starting watts. In practical terms that covers a refrigerator, a well pump, lights, networking gear and a window or portable AC unit, and with a proper interlock it can back-feed a handful of essential circuits. A portable will not run central air conditioning; that is what a standby unit is for.
Yes. This is a tri-fuel unit running on gasoline / lp / ng. Propane is the practical choice for a generator that sits most of the year: it does not go stale, it does not gum a carburetor, and a 20 lb tank is easy to store and rotate. Gasoline gives slightly higher output when you need it.
Only through a properly installed transfer switch or an interlock kit. Plugging a generator into a wall outlet - a suicide cord - back-feeds the utility line and can kill a lineman working to restore your power. It is also illegal. If you want the generator to power house circuits, we install a manual transfer switch, and if you are doing that anyway it is worth asking whether a standby unit is the better buy.
