This was very helpful. I have been spoiled by cheap power in the Pacific Northwest, but am in a struggle with Pacific Power to get them to restore my old analog meter, currently (badda bing...) I have a stupid, I mean smartmeter, and a lot of tinnitus. The options (emf filter systems) are really quite a bit more expensive, prohibitively for me. That they are selling off my usage information and making my house a fire and emf danger to boot is very....well, (badda boom) infuriating. best from Oregon
Look into lead coverings for smart meters. When I still had one I got a ring made out of lead to put around the meter and a square to stick to the wall on the other side of it. This blocked the radiation in all directions except away from the house. Don’t touch the lead though with your hands. Use gloves.
I thought I had seen the Generac whole house units also have an unit that connects to the natural gas outlet used in the home. No propane is needed in that case, and I think they are more in the price range of the EcoFlow units. I must do some more research! I’m glad you are happy with your EcoFlow unit…I have been researching them as well. And yes…lithium batteries are not a perfect solution. Thanks so much for this excellent review of the options!

They probably have generators that connect to gas lines. We don’t have these here, so I never thought of that. Good point!
