Run a large one on all of the audio/video equipment also. It can only run the stuff for about 10-15 minutes but mainly it keep the power clean to avoid damage and gives enough time to shut equipment down if the power is out for more than a few minutes. Same for the computers.
Backup generator with auto start and auto switchover. Seems like an extravagance until the power goes out in the middle of the night in a snowstorm. Then it's not so much of an extravagance, particularly when the power stays out for 5 days.
