We lose power on rare occasion during the winter, but if we get a hurricane we could be out of power of weeks, and being close to a major city us country folk aren't high on the priority list. We are having a 27KW unit put in as soon as I can find the funds which means I'll only be out of power for as long as it takes the automatic switch gear to kick the generator on and it will run everything in the house A/C units, well, septic, hot tub, etc
Been there my brother!
After living on a generator compliments of two of the four hurricanes we went through in '04; I bought a bigger one.
I run it a couple times every year, and haven't had to use it seriously yet, which is just fine with me!
My Dad was without power for 10 days after the second one, and a week after the third hurricane that year.
Disregarding the property damage; those ice storms look like they may be rougher to get by in the aftermath than some hurricanes.
I've always said that I'm not living anywhere where if I pass out drunk in a ditch; I'll wake up dead!
Words I've chosen to live by.
