For those that have built-in or connected while house generators, which brand do you recommend?

Don't know what brands that were involved, but I know of two families whose generators did not come on. Yeah they both had come on every week for the test run, but when needed after the storm they didn't.

Were they water damaged?

I recommend going to tigerdroppings and seaching the OT and Home/Garden boards for generators. Tons of information. There are a lot of factors to consider, how big, air-cooled or not, most reliable, easiest to change oil, etc. If you need something immediately, Costco has a tri-fuel Firman usually for $799 ish. Obviously, likely in short supply at the moment. Also, look into an "soft start" system for your HVAC.
