We considered a whole house generator due to our regular third world rolling blackouts here in Placerville, thanks to Pacific Gas & Extortion’s program. (Can’t wait to see what happens when the idiot working at the capitol forces everything electric)…..[emoji849]

Anyway, what we were concerned about the big whole house units, is just how thirsty they are running on propane. Not to much of an issue during regular weather, but a major problem in the dead of winter when there is 20” of snow and the city hadn’t plowed the road so a propane truck can make a drop. We tend to be out of power for days when that happens. Then we would really be screwed by being out of power and…propane. So our solution was to rig two Honda 2000i generators daisy-chained for a totals of 4K watts to run essentials. Plugs directly into our panel and yes, we have a interlock system like shown directly above to prevent back feeding into the grid. Mrs. Bugs can handle/move the small Hondas easily too.

It’s what works for us.
