You need a professional to come and see what you need.

I have a small generator that will keep small appliances on for 5-6 hours per fill up (it uses gasoline). I don't have it connected to my circuit board, because I want to put a whole house auto on generator on. My small one would NOT run the AC.

If you have propane or natural gas, you should be able to get whole house one installed. I don't THINK you can get a gasoline whole house, but I could be wrong.

I keep about 20 gal of gas around in case of an outage.

Also if you get a small generator, you need to make sure you keep it outside when it's running - and they're VERY loud.

Living in the woods had made me a little too familiar with power outages and alternate options.
