I bought a Generac 22KW standby generator with an auto transition switch last March. Runs on natural gas. Ran the entire house through this ordeal.first outage was 24 hours. Then they were several hours. Several outages. Worth every penny.DoctorMu wrote: ↑Thu Feb 18, 2021 10:40 amNow seriously thinking about a natural gas or propane generator. Am worried about the cost but...TxLady wrote: ↑Thu Feb 18, 2021 10:30 amNo, mine automatically switches over to running on propane. Because we are "rural", we don't have city utilities (water, natural gas, etc). So, ours is Propane. Honestly, one of the best investments, ever.Did you lose power with a whole house generator? We are thinking of purchasing one.

I’m thinking you meant a 36kw generator. 22KW is the largest in the residential line, but they do have commercial ones that would most likely meet your need.DoctorMu wrote: ↑Thu Feb 18, 2021 12:01 pmCrunched the numbers again - need a 36W - 11K without installation.
Thinking of generac also. Dad on cpap and I have autoimmune issues. Idk though looks expensive. Also in sw houston will the freeze require drip again?
If a standby generator is a medical necessity, ask his physician to write a letter stating that. From what I understand it is a tax deductible medical expense when you file your return for the year you bought it and installed it.
I want one, but I need to build swimming pool 2.0 first.
Hopefully this year is the year.

The snow is so close, yet so far. Doesn't look like it will make it here after all.
