I like my 20k nat gas unit. $12,000 installed. It is backed up by a 5k (max load) gasoline portable that cost $600 at Home Depot. This small backup is hard wired to 4 rooms in the house with dedicated drops and outlets and a window unit in the master bedroom (one of my fun projects). I don't expect to be without power, but you never know. A tree fell on a guy's 24k unit and smashed it to bits the day after the huricane, at the beginning of a 8 day outage on his block.
