Not going to be doing it in Northern New York either! The pump is broke and we will not get any sunshine until it is replaced!

Howie, I usually agree to the Kenmore/Sears recommendation but the closest Sears is coming in with is with 18 cu' units that are listed as using 385kWH/yr. Higher than I'd like. This is for an off grid home and the extra 50 kWh/yr translates to 137 Watt hours per day. For this particular home it will mean an average of 2.5 hours per day of generator run time during our cloudy snowy winter. This is for a small rental house on my property and I want to keep the gen run time down as low as possible. Non-winter times will not be a problem as the solar array will carry the RF as well as all the other loads in the home.

Dave, I've always recommended Kenmore (Sears) which we have - they are reliable, quiet, and a good price point typically (especially if you get it on sale which them seem to have every other week). If you look for the right model, you should be able to get one that comes close to that usage, especially in the smaller models. Sears' website lists the kWh yearly usage last time I looked.

All of the GE units listed by Energy Star as 300 to 311kWh/yr are no longer being manufactured according to my local appliance dealers. I see a Fridgidaire 18.2 cu ft that uses 335kWh/yr (reviews that I see on this unit complained of loud clunky noises). Sun Frost units are too pricey for this application. Any recommendations?
