I think that in reality a honda generator aboard a boat, probably gets more use than the average home backup unit. You'll robably get many many years out of one of them.
Home backup power runs the gambit of budgets. Its easy to sink 25K or more into a whole house backup power solution.
I have Two backup generators at our house. If the power goes out, within 3.5 seconds the main generator is running and the house is connected.
If that generator fails for any reason it takes about 20 seconds for the second unit to start up and connect.
I guess I'm a generator geek.
