Honda/Honeywell Generator

[TheMan419]

Since it is a new build talk to your electrician. I am sure they have installed plenty. They can help discuss what you want to run during an outage and how much power you need. It also depend on how much load management you want to do. We ended up with a larger unit so that the wife does not need to worry if I am not home. Just fire it up and run stuff.

I have talked with my builder and will be getting in touch with the electrician to discuss what I need in a generator. I am leaning towards getting one with enough power to run anything I need to in the house. When tropical storms and hurricanes come through we can end up with power out for a good little while. My parents lost it one time for two weeks. It does not happen all the time but when it does it will be nice to be able to run whatever we need to. I am going to be living in Central/East Virginia where we can get quite a few nasty storms during the year.

I am a Honda man and am having a hard time looking at other generators. I have seen a Powerhouse generator with 13000 surge watts and 10000 rated watts at Northern Tool. it has good reviews and will be a lot cheaper than the Honda. I just don't want to limit myself to just looking for a Honda (this is very hard for me to do). Do any of you guys have a Powerhouse generator? If so are they any good?
