Yes, I'm looking at a non-portable fixed-install unit.

Its a Briggs and Stratton unit about the size of a central a/c unit and puts out 10kw/9kw (propane/Natural gas). It would run off natural gas and be hooked right up to the main gas feed. The supply line into the house is approx 1.5" in size.

I am leaning towards this size unit as opposed to a smaller one since it will be powering a 2 family house, but even then, it wont be powering everything. the A/C units, pool pump, washing machine, dishwasher, dryer,outdoor outlets, etc wont be connected to it.

Basically I need it to power 2 furnaces, 2-3 fridges, 2-4 tvs, Fios box, 1 microwave, and lights, maybe garage opener and other small things. Id rather have more ability than needed. And obviously ALL those things wont be on at once. Oh and both units have stoves that are either gas w/pilot light or gas w/only electric ignition.
