We are rapidly approaching a situation in this country where the majority of Americans will not be able to acquire the basic necessities for life. With tens of millions of people unemployed, living in poverty and struggling just to make ends meet, it’s a wonder that the system hasn’t already collapsed in on itself.

What do you think about the Generac? Pros/Cons?
I like mine, but I do wish I’d bought a larger unit. Just couldn’t afford it.
Pros? It does the job powering our entire house except for the central air. It will run our furnace, which is nice. I added a Tri-fuel kit so it runs on propane or NG if I need it to. That’s what I’d recommend as either is much cheaper than gasoline.
Cons? It’s loud. So I’m building a small shed for it and adding a muffler. I have the GP 5500 and installed a 6 position transfer switch kit so all I have to do is plug in the 220 inlet to the house. It works well.
Thanx for the info. That appears to be just what I was looking for. ;)
A while back I wrote a thread on it. Search my history and you should find it. If not let me know and I’ll dig it up for you.
If you can’t answer that question, it’s strike one.
Oh that's good. Maybe follow up with "Who is John Galt?".
