I got a Winco propane powered generator this spring. Winco is a
Minnesota company. They have a number of different propane generator
configurations for whole house standby use as well as portable ones.
West of Mississippi sales  1-800-324-8174. Ask for their brochure.
They have  local dealers/installers if that is important.  Sacramento
and San Francisco in S.F Bay area. I have not dealt with the local
dealer or installer. Winco also has a service/parts dept that I've
dealt with directly. My generator is permanently hooked up to  house
wiring and  propane plumbing. I actually got a tri-fuel  generator,
but all I need is the propane. It's quite a carpentry, plumbing,
electric job to hook up a permanent standby generator and comply with
all codes so don't underestimate that part of the job. But if you're
tired of sitting in the dark for 4-5 days at a time, it is worth it.  
 
I  purchased the Winco  generator from the mail order company "Tool
Crib of the North" in ND. I've had very good experiences purchasing
tools etc from the Tool Crib.  They have a lot of generators in their
catalog, but as far as I know only the Winco brand for propane.
Shipping was included in the price. Tool Crib phone 1-800-358-3096

My only interest in Winco and Tool Crib is as a satisfied customer.
