I just got a new Koehler 23KW generator installed... so that means no hurricanes... at least until the warranty expires.
If the power goes out for 15 min, maybe you can throw together a hasty open house & show the neighbors!
Bought ours right AFTER the ‘04 hurricane swarm that hit us here in Florida. Haven’t had to use it yet!
Just had a one hour outage 3 hours ago here. Ran the 24kw genset I have. Burning 9 year old diesel fuel just fine.
We got our generator several years ago, after Ike knocked our power out for THREE long weeks.
We’ve loved every second of being generator owners....out here in middle of no whare ;-)
