One of my friends recently installed the whole house generator, natural gas fueled, Generac generator. There was a thunderstorm in his area of town a a string of power poles were felled. His generator kicked on automatically. He was really happy about the purchase, until it started having brownouts and flickering lights all over the house. Right now he is really mad at the generator and the company that put it in.
Every time there is a new thread on generators I seem to go down the rabbit hole of wanting one, and I start with the little Honda one to run the basics, but for just a bit more......
Soon I am looking at whole house generators, and then I slap my forehead. In the 22 years we have lived here there have been just two power outrages that lasted more than an hour. One was due to a major ice storm, and another was a thunderstorm and high winds that damaged a transmission tower. Those only lasted overnight and less than 14 hours total.
I will live live on the edge with no generator backup.
