I have a 19 KW Onan to power the farm. It isn't automatic. I have to go out and flip the transfer stuff and fire up the four cylinder diesel. It does one heck of a job when I need it. It has about 900 hours on it and is surplus from the phone company.
I had a Generac unit. I couldn't run away from it fast enough and I bought it new. I have an 8000 watt unit with an overhead Briggs for welding in the field and the like. I don't think anyone makes a good small engine anymore, but I guess I would go for Subaru, Honda, of Kawasaki. I wouldn't be afraid of buying something old that has a flat head on it. They will run forever.
Note that if you have a new HVAC unit they may not uphold the warranty on the DC fan motor if you run it on generator power. Those are very picky about fluctuations and burn up. I just run a bunch of space heaters if it is winter.
