I just got a re-fuel from Amerigas on Monday for 3.119 a gallon, I think you should call them and complain

Just get a gas generator with 7500 running watts and hook it up to the breaker panel (hire an electrician if you don't know how). It'll run the whole house and one with an 8gal tank can run for about 10 hours. (My house has 2 furnaces, the fridge, and all lights and outlets running the whole time). If you want the microwave or electric range you'll want something a little larger, probably 10k+ running watts.

I just need help wiring my backup generator to the house. Bought one yesterday, but no way to use it.
