Where do I start it's got me to the point of calling a contractor to help me with deciding but I know they are out to make money what do I need to know so im not taken for a sucker? |

The one thing that will determine the size you need is whether you want to run the air conditioning, and then whether you want to power 100% of the house without AC. If you can survive with fans or go to the basement, then you don't need a monster generator. This is important not only for the up front cost, but the cost to run the generator. A large generator will use enough fuel to take your breath away. |
