Probably have to calculate how much juice I would need.

I lost power on Sunday due to weather and thought to myself, this is the last straw while freezing my ass off (no heat since I don't use natural gas).

Looking for some good manufacturers with great reputation.

Generac makes some great units using either Kohler or Briggs & Straton motors.

As far as sizing, Generator Joe http://www.generatorjoe.net/page.asp?id=40
will help you decide what size you need.
