HF Predator 4375/3500 portable generator ??

I get that it's a backup, but might as well do the math and see if you can afford to power the entire house

(in my house, I got all my breakers labeled in red and green, green are "essentials" and stay on when I fire up the genny, reds get turned off)

so fridge, stove, ceiling lights in certain rooms (all LEDs anyway) and sump pumps
The colored switch labels is great idea. How big is your generator ? is it hard wired (transfer switch ?
