What I am describing is a $1000 generator, $250 in parts to rig it up correctly and a system that runs enough to keep you comfortable with a couple of window units in your bedrooms, have lights, TV and internet and your freezers/refrigerators on.

Gotcha. I did that once in my last house. Worked well because I could move the little A/C from the living room to the bedroom every day. I got by on a somewhat small generator too. I rationed the fridge/freezer somehow. I think I didn't supply the outside freezer during the day and we limited opening it. Lost no food and the late wife was reasonably happy.

I no longer own one of those A/Cs and not sure I could make it work in my new house. We have no conventional windows in the main living area.
