I would like to set up a relatively inexpensive standby generator for my
vacation home. The house uses propane for heat, hot water and cooking, so the
logical thing to do would be to get a propane powered generator or convert one
to run on propane. I really dont need much power; more than anything, I want
to keep the house from freezing if we lose power while we are away, so Id be
happy if all it powered was the furnace, But, all I have found are pretty
substantial units that cost close to $2,000, which is more than I want to
spend for something like this. Does anyone know if it is possible to convert
a smaller generator to become a standby unit? Are there any other options I
should consider?
Thanks.
