Gas doesn't store long is the problem, diesel stores much longer of course. I ditched my gas generators and got a propane generator-problem solved, and i'm never going to have to deal with gummed up carburetor or fuel again
I have no experience with generators but would like to pick up one soon. I'm thinking dual fuel and I would run it off of LP. My house is total electric but it's easier for me to store LP tanks than gasoline. Also, my house is 1900 sq ft and I would love to be able to run the whole house, but I need to be able to at least run the fridge, deep freezer, lights, water heater, a TV, garage door, portable heater/fan). I'm looking at the following generators, would either of these be sufficient for my wants or overkill or underpowered?

Also, I see some people have generators hooked up to a fuse panel/breaker box. Is it needed to run HVAC or some other reason? Also if you guys have any advice on generators or have a link where I can read up more on generators, id appreciate it.
Awesome! so you're liking the Ford?
I just watched a YT vid about the interlock kit. Just so I'm clear, am I right that a manual transfer switch limits you to a certain number of breakers, but an Interlock kit gives you the option to use all or choose which specific breakers you want?

Champions are good machines, this should handle all that and more!After looking over this thread, I believe I have found the generator I may go with. I had my eye set on a smaller Ryobi inverter generator for the past few months but have decided I needed to go larger and wanted duel fuel. I plan to run our AC/ Fridge, deep freeze, all the internet related items and a box fan off of this one. I do not plan to run all of that at one time as I would swap the freezers on and off every few hours.
This will be my first generator purchase am I am looking forward to having it!
