For sure Ray. There have been times the power went out when we were away at work, which put the burden of keeping our pipes from freezing on others. That isn't fair to them when they have their own power problems to deal with.

I did ask about the life expectancy of the engine and the dealer said 5,000 hours. Supposedly due to the industrial design of this engine. Frankly, I don't know if I believe that. That is a ton of hours for most any gas engine.

Pretty slick set up with the control panel and the automation. We opted for the heater kit which keeps the battery and engine oil warm in cold weather and skipped the remote monitoring. The remote monitoring was $1,200 for 3 years which seemed too pricey to me.
