Generac is expensive, but worth it in my opinion. You don’t have to worry about turning anything on, but it kicks in automatically after 15 or 20 seconds. Peace of mind is worth a lot if you are on vacation or away from your home for a few days. Mine runs on propane and I figure that I can run full power in the house for at least a month. There have been many times where my house is the only lit one for a few days because of a brown out.
👍. Just wait until they make us use wind and solar to power back up generators. 😂
Good grief -- how big is your tank?! We have a 325 gallon tank, and they estimate it'll run the house for 3-4 days, depending on usage, maybe 5 days if we're really conservative. Or is your house fairly small?
We put ours in last year when the rolling blackouts were/are becoming more likely. If you can afford it they are worth it. We had a 2 day outage last winter and
we were so glad we had it. You could not let it 30 straight days without adding/changing the oil.
Ballpark costs?
