It
would definately work out more expensive, the point is you use it when the
"proper" stuff is unavailable.
To
run a normal house you would need at least a 20kVA generator which would be
terribly expensive, large and noisy. you also have to think about how to
store
large amounts of diesel.
A
3
or 4kVA generator on the other hand is much more affordable and will keep
the
essential and desireable stuff running
Essential - PC, Home Highway, AV Kit
Desireable - Freezer, Fridge, Heating
:-)
To
do that you need a seperate consumer unit for the essential equipment and a
changeover switch to change from MAINS to GENERATOR.

I have often thought about a generator. How
does the cost per kw/h work out ? Presumably its a diesel ?

Electricity
Well..it's the middle of the summer but N.Ireland
Electricity have black us
out again (a clap of thunder and 5000 home
are without power). Nine hours
and counting.
At least we
can make our own electric now with the generator we got after
last
winters 26 hour
outage.
