I'll add...

My home is also the Emergency Operations Center for the tiny township, which does not have a generator. Additionally, my water well requires electric, my septic pump requires electric and my furnace requires electric. Since I raise my own chickens and take a deer or two every year, my freezer has the meat I literally can't buy in the store, and it would be a shame to waste it.
