Mine just ran for two days straight in Houston. Brand new (less than a month old) Generac 24 KW air cooled on natural gas. Had absolutely zero issues. Kept me warm and was able to continue living like normal.
Every 24 hours of continuous run you are supposed to shut it down and check the oil level. I added a tiny bit. Every 150-200 hours of run time you need to change the oil and filter.
Because of the Laura stories I keep about a months worth of oil and filters on hand in my garage just in case.

Know what I haven’t seen since Laura? A genrac commercial.
OP, call some commercial electricians and ask them what brands they service in your area.

Ballpark figure on what this set you back? I’m in the Houston area and after spending 3 days with no power and hearing several in the neighborhood run all night, I am strongly considering it. Never been jealous as a grown man until I saw several homes fully functioning while we were in the dark and cold as hell.

I'm in The Woodlands and strongly considering getting this set up. Mind me asking the cost? Wife is pregnant and although we were never in that bad of shape, I'd prefer to be more prepared in the future since we deal with power outages for storms, but don't expect to need to evacuate much.
