I live in Central NH, don’t need AC but it does get cold if the heat’s off.

I have an 11kW Generac with a transfer switch I bought in 2006 after a 65 hour outage in February, powered by propane, 250# stored and the propane only runs a cooktop otherwise.

It avoids fuel storage issues and hands on work when it’s -20.

Runs refrigerators (2), freezers (2), and some lights (and the heat and septic pump). Can’t use the microwave and not all lights work. Change the oil annually, has always worked as advertised.

5 kids, normally very appreciative. If they were bitching about not everything being on, I would try to shape them up, but haven’t had to.

6 houses in the development occupied in the winter, all have generators. Dirt road off a back road, people who don’t belong stand out. 2 murders in town since 1961. No one in the hood has a backhoe, but I wouldn’t recommend any secret shopping around where I live.
