When it comes to the aluminum versus copper wound generators you are not going to notice a difference when using it as a backup generator for your home. Only on much larger generators like those used for hospitals would you begin to notice a difference due to the different wiring types.

I do highly recommend going with a propane powered generator like the Firman # 333-H08051. This is best so you do not have to worry about the gas going bad inside the tank or the carb which would prevent you from starting the generator when the power does go out. Also be sure to place a Maintainer # 329-GENIUS1 on the generator battery so it is ready to go and you do not have to worry about the pull start.
