It would be nice to have someday, but I think it is a bit too much of a stretch for my DIY electrical skills so I'd probably want a real electrician to do it.

 

You do not have to have an electrician do it. For around $1,000, Dominion power company will sell you one and hook it up. It is almost like having an extension cord for your home. When the power goes out you turn off all your circuits in your home. You then turn on only the ones you need to have running (fish related items, beer cooler etc) You then plug your outside plug into a generator you purchased. The larger generator you purchase the more items you can have run in your home.

 

I believe it all boils down to how much inusrance you want to purchase;

 

1. A few dollars for a battery powered pump.

2. A few hundred dollars for a battery back up system.

3. $1,500 for a manual back up generator connected to your home.

4. $4,000+ for a fully automatic back up generator.

 

Your choice.
