Yeah the power company does not care because they do not have to.We got along a good number of years with a Coleman 5500 watt portable (has a Yamaha engine/generator). We had to manually swap loads around depending on what was important at any given time.
August 2018, we installed a whole house generator. It has provided 136 hours of backup power since then! Our last outage was just last weekend and lasted 32 hours. I've complained of the reliability to the utility, but I'm not holding my breath that we will see any improvement anytime soon!
