Generator backup?

[ApS]

At the next opportunity, you might consider installing a 90-gallon hot water heater. That's enough hot water "standing by" for up to three days.

Alternatively, you could install a standby 120-volt hot water heater in a capacity that the smaller-sized generators could handle.

On the other hand, the permanently-installed propane powered home systems are touted as a major asset in homes for sale: on an island, even more so.

That 90 gallons won't be going anywhere without the pump, which won't run without power. Unless he buys a generator, the 90 gallon tank would be a poor investment
