Need a Generator?
 

If you are in the Houston area and need a generator, I have a few 20 kW home type backup units on sale until my stock is gone. Natural Gas/Propane, 20kW GE Branded (Briggs & Stratton) Air cooled. $3500.

Hard to believe average residential homes have grown to peaks of 20kW or more. Seems like the average as little as 1995 was around 12-13kW.

Guess all the smart everything's take up a lot of power!

The issue for most of us is Air Conditioning. In rush current can be 5 times the operating current. Even allowing a 30% voltage sag, a 20kW unit will barely start a 5 ton air conditioner. We also sell soft-starts which reduce in-rush to 50% over running current. A 10 kW unit could start that.

I wouldn't mind a kit or some book or something that shows me how to wire the house to be powered by an el cheapo Harbor Freight 8750 generator.

Lol.

You forgot the set of matching earmuffs for the family.

I see Appalachian Power has their hydro plant back up again.
