I finally became frustrated with the lack of electric dependability in my neighborhood. We would lose power or experience diminished power output anytime the weather was somewhat severe. After the Texas outage I decided it was time to get a standby generator. I went with a 16kw natural gas powered system. I purchased the system thru Faith Electric in Edmond and it was pretty much a turn key operation. I did prep the area where I wanted it installed and made sure it would pass city ordinance requirements. Anyway, it has come on twice since the install and it "exercises" weekly without any issues. It is WIFI enabled also. Faith has a significant amount of experience with installation and what I would recommend is make sure the system will totally run your home including heat and air. I would also try to schedule it when it is not peak severe weather season. Faith will do a free install estimate but if you are thinking about doing this, pull the trigger so you do not have to wait on the Generator Company to catch up with back orders. I went with Generac
