I haven't noticed it here, but think with hurricanes it might be a good idea.

I have to agree as a past client just installed one in a new house but they are out in the boonies of TN. I've only sold 1 here in the suburban area that had one.

Jeff,

We rarely get major outages.  A

I haven't noticed this in our market. Likely a good idea in many areas.  

I have not noticed that in our area.

Not an increase but for those that can afford it...they want it

There are two that have been installed for a few years now and know of three being installed for medical reasons.

There is a gentleman putting in solar on a portion of twelve acres nearby as well.

Jeff Pearl I've only known two families who have backup generators required for medical support.

No.

I have not here, but I have acquired one for myself.  Better safe than sorry.

yes.... and new homeowners are interested in having them installed with the construction of the home....

Can't remember the last time I saw a home with one of these.

We don't see this in our area, as our power rarely goes out.

no

Lots of solar in San Diego, bot so many generators. In Florida, neither in themy area for whatever reason.

Not really, I've been considering one but keep changing my mind

YEs, especially among higher end homes.  After the 2 big hurricanes and the snow storm when the leaves were on the trees, many in suburbs had major outages for a week+ 2-3 times.

I installed my back up generator 18 years ago, the price is a lot more attractive now...

I have considered one of these for our rural office.

It is rare that homeowners install generators in Clarksville. We don't have very many storms that knock out power.

no

     Yes, especially after the hurricane in September that left a lot of people without power for several weeks.

No but, I have certainly heard more folks discussing buying one. When we built, we did specific wiring for one and still haven't added it two years later!

Not in my neck of the woods. But I think it is a wise investment.

No rarely do our clients have a need for a back up generator. When I used to sell country properties I saw that more often.

Jeff, in areas that see long outages it only makes sense.   I have a portable one and only used it once in 5 years, but it save a lot when it did work

In the last 5 years we have had 3 long term outtages and yes, i even got one

No. Most of us have solar now but generators are still common here.

No. I have not.  Outages while rare, do happen. Power is restored pretty quickly. 

No, I haven't seen them in our area.

No can not say I have in Denver, Co.

I would do the same in your area

Not in Oklahoma, the temperature and storms are not a big thing, but where we have second home in Florida the answer is  yes.

I think more people are doing this, even in the city.

I have not Jeff Pearl but I myself have two portable units and a big permanent one has been on my mind for some time. I would hate to be without power during a blizzard like we are having today. Zero degrees and no heat is not a very good experience.
