We just went through 6 days of no electricity.
We installed a Kohler 20RCal generator with switching station in April 2020.
It was less than $8,000 with concrete pad installed.
We tied it into having Solar installed at the same time for Tax rebates.
What a relief not dealing with extension cords.
We have horses and are on a well , we need the power for water.
It runs the whole house and barn everything.
The idea of knowing when a Power outage occurs when I am not home my wife will have electricity is good for the soul.
The bad part is it uses lots of propane.
We have 3 100 gal. tanks. I keep 2 hooked up with a valve to switch tanks.
Have the other tank as a backup, which can be filled at any propane place.
The people with the big tanks have to have it filled by a propane co. that comes to your house.
You have to have a contract with them for them to show up. (Rent tank from them)
Lots of times they don't fill your tanks to capacity.
If you own your own tank good luck getting it filled when they are busy.
In Calif. we are going to have lots of Power outages by P.G.E. due to fire danger.
We run it during the day and shut it off at night.
So glad that we have it.
