Whole house backup generator

[00tec]

Bumping this up with a more realistic expectation for my allowed budget. (The big genset will have to wait)

Looking at a (3700w running/4500w starting) inverter generator (dual fuel- propane/ gasoline). Too many sensitive electronics in everything these days. (And I dont necessarily need to run the well all the time since I have a 400 gal storage tank in the basement)

Current questions for the better informed out there:

1. Does my reasoning sound about right? I want furnace, fridge (or freezer), a secondary pressure pump for my water tank (other is 240), kitchen lights, the damn propane valve that kills gas without power, TV/modem/PC would be nice.

2. Are there 120v only manual transfer switches out there, or am I relegated to running cords? Most everything I see references the 240 plug.

I have a 1000 gal propane tank on site that I could run a line off of for fuel, along with several BBQ tanks I keep around. I try to buy ethanol free gas for the RZR, so rotation is not an issue.
