I am building a house at the front of my property. It is my future retirement home but it’s first use will be a place to look after my 81 year old father. The house is 2000sq feet, 3br 2.5bath
32x50 attached garage. I am wanting to install a propane back up generator during construction. Power is all underground on my property but everything is on overhead power lines off the property. Power goes out just often enough that I want back up power.
I am looking at 22kw. Probably generac. Air cooled is $4200, water cooled is $9000. In the 13 years since I built my shop here power goes out on average 6x a year, usually for 2-6 hours. Average 20 hours a year. Having a woman and child at home tending to a senior I want to make it as easy as possible for them. From what I can find air cooled will be fine. Having never had a stand by whole house generator, I have no first hand knowledge.
