We installed a natural gas-powered generator that supplies power to key areas of the house and heating system when the power goes off. In the shack I’ve installed a large gel cell battery that’s charged using a West Mountain Radio PowerGate. When the power drops the radios remain on while the the generator comes on line. We installed the generator after the Derecho rolled through the area a few years ago. We have had several power outages since then, one that lasted nearly a day, and the generator served us well. We consider it was worth the investment.
