I'm looking to invest in a new portable gas or diesel electric generator.. I'm looking for a long term use on the motor one that will last season to season with proper care..This generator needs to power a 220 volt well and household..I was looking at one of the electric bills and the usages were around 550 and 580 KWH in July and August..I'm running three freezers and one refrigertor constantly..In the summer the house runs a evaporative cooler..So in the event of long term power outages what make and model does one suggest?...Thanks For Helping
I can catch them here...I can catch them ANYWHERE

For a portable unit , Honda is the best. Also the most expensive. Ya get what ya pay for.

Your in NM, I would get solar, even a smaller setup would run your 3 freezers and a refrigator. You also dont have to rely on somebody else for some of your power either.

Consider going duel fuel, gas/propane. Propane keeps forever, cleaner, so a lot less maintenance.

How many panels does he need and at what wattage? What sort of battery bank does he need to run things at night? What does all this stuff cost?
