Where are you at? In a Southeast hurricane, especially while it’s still in Southern Summer, that 26kW would keep you central air going!
The WORST part of a hurricane for me is AFTER the storm passes, when I’m sweltering and wilting due to the heat and humidity without power.
My house is new and was NOT built like the old timey houses with tall windows and wrap around porches. I got about 5000 sq ft of black asphalt roof tiles! Heat magnet!
Northern Tool has a Generac 22kW generator for less than $5000, free shipping and runs on propane/NG WITH a 200 Amp transfer switch.
I’m seriously thinking of getting it.
This summer I converted my 13kw generator to gasoline or propane at the flip of a switch. The conversion kit cost $270.00.
I have 40 of the 20 pound propane bottles. Cooking, heating & lighting all run on propane now. No need to fight the gasoline panics everytime a hurricane nears.
