We’ve thought of getting one but I don’t know who to trust around here, and I’m not sure what our needs would be. Bob, thank you for the good wishes. I did a ridiculous amount of research, and Cummins kept coming up at or near the top. Our needs are this: - everything (and I mean everything) is electric (HVAC, hot water, stove, dryer)
- by far our most significant outage cause is all the beautiful old-growth trees in the area—a couple of weeks ago, one tree down because of high winds took out the power for us and about 1,100 other customers
- within the general outage cause, our most challenging risk would be if we were part of a relatively small outage because smaller outages get lower priority—after a bad storm, we could be out for several days
We settled on a 20 kW generator, along with an automatic transfer switch.
