We got a whole house generator this year. It’s tied into the natural gas line and has a transfer switch that auto switches over when power is lost. I like DIY stuff, but the convenience of not doing DIY for something like this is great. Now… one thing that could be improved is there’s an 8 or so second loss of power while the generator spins up. If the whole house could run on batteries and the generator charge the batteries when mains can’t that would be awesome. But that solution would be very expensive right now.
