Thanks

You should be titled what type of generator. The question of what size is left unanswered. Also most homeowners are not buying 12,000 watt portable generators. 4k to 9k would be more realistic.

I still don’t know what size generator I need. You tried to answer, what “type” of generator I need, not what size.

Just my 2 cents. After careful consideration about "what" is truly needed, my Honda EU22OOi produces enough power for the fridge, furnace, lights and essential things during a short power outage. No brainer. It's quiet, reliable and worth the cost. Even in winter. Alberta Canada. Cheers! 😊 Great video! 👍

Remember that portable generators come in two types, inverter and regular. The Inverter generator is needed for high tec electronics such as computers, etc. Inverter generators produce "clean" sine wave electricity, where regular generators produce dirty sine wave electricity. If you try and run your computer with dirty electricity, you may burn up your computer, etc.

Here is te answer: If you have not installed the connections on your home then you need a 800 to 2000 watt generator other than that is waste of time and money unless you are planning to do it in the future.

Most can't afford generators because of fixed income.Would government provide free to Americans on fixed like they give free stuff to illegals coming here.

Still have the same question as when I started this video......

You did not answer the question of size. You touched on it for portable generators, but not for Standby generators. You should change the title to: What type of generator should you buy.

400 AMP SERVICE?! My power company would only give me a 100 amp service twenty three years ago.

Learned something new today. Knob and tube is what i found in my father's house when I was replacing some receptacles. I was wondering why the wires were in a cloth sheathing. Took a 3 month pre-apprenticeship electrical course and this was not covered other than old wiring in older homes. Granted the class was free and the instructors were great. I guess this is something you learn on the job and trough experience. Thankful now that I know more about this.

Stand by generator, depending on where you live, to buy it and have it installed will be somewhere in the ballpark of $10,000. For a manual system the costs will be the portable generator the transfer switch (gen interlock if permissible in your area), the wire to the inlet box and the cost of the electrician. So, $1100-$2600 for a good quality generator plus $100-600 for the transfer switch, $200 for cabling and an inlet box, and ~$1000 for electrician. Possibly $2500-$4000 to do it right on a manual system. For my house, it is a manual system, for my parents, I installed a Generac with ATS. Peace of mind makes the difference.

For my first major storm, the oil and oil filter were changed every 2-3 days. It is a good reason to set up a usage schedule(instead of day running 24 hr) and run batteries when the portable generator is off. Our usage schedule is now 4 hr in the morning and 4 hours in the evening to keep the fridge and Freezer cold as well as fire up the main furnace and charge the device batteries. That is with 27 gal of stabilized fuel which should last about 10 days of emergency power.

Here is how it will work. Frequent power issues then you get a generator then you rarely will need it. If you get a portable generator highly recommend you get or convert it to propane or natural gas. this will significantly make life easier and safer. Kits are not expensive. Gasoline goes bad over time even if you extend the time with stabilizer but Propane keeps fresh for a long time. I run a 2.5 ton central heat pump with a soft start box for the compressor and have no issues with a troy bilt 7.5 k gen Plus lights,Tvs, Fans and can run 2 electric burners on the stove. To heat the water you have to temporarily turn off the AC but once your WH is full of hot water turn it off and you can rur the heat pump again.
