What does the auto idle do?
I am using power constantly for lights or computer. So when idling
will it produce enough power?

I am thinking about a big unit. According to some of the guys here on
the rec there's no global warming. But I live right by the Delaware
River. we had 3 100 year floods in under 2 years. This storm on top of
Irene and the Halloween snowstorm last year has made me think I
underpowered my generator severely. In the last 12 years the frequency
of use is rising drastically. I want water and hot water... I'm
thinking 12k might just be the ticket, or a little more to run some
other things. 12k would just get me water and hot water.. both are
30amp 220... so maybe a 18k unit working off propane...


For hot water, converting the water heater to natural gas (or propane) would
be cheaper.
