Also, make sure you have at least one window AC unit....two would be even better. Ones that have plugs for 110v. You can run them off the generator along with the refrigerator, washing machine, fan(s), TV/DVD player, microwave, and lamps.
Most dryers use 220v - and my generator can provide that - I just don't care about going that far with it.
Keep plenty of soup, water, juice, and other provisions on hand - and don't forget what's needed for the 4-legged children!  |
Propane whole house standby generator. Best money I have ever spent. Runs almost entire house (except electric stove/range) including the AC.
It is like the power is still on.
I do a Dr. Evil laugh every time the power goes out and that baby kicks on.
Enough Propane to last me 1 week at 24 hours running. By 4-5 days after storm typically the propane company will make a delivery.
