Well, its nice that you have the generator as a backup. I use my Honda
EU2000i whenever my power goes out. It will run what I need to keep
running. Living in a condo so no way to put up a permanent
generator. If
I ever get another house I will get a fixed permanent generator.




Power was out for an hour...I didn't investigate but I suspect tree
limbs
falling on a power line.



An hour and you needed a generator?


Automatic transfer switch and start-up, Bilious. If the utility power
goes out for more than a short interval, the generator takes over and
when the utility power comes back on, the generator shuts itself down.
Surely such setups exist out there on the left coast.


I think he's questioning your need for such an elaborate generator
setup. Are you raising some baby chicks or something? Are you in an iron
lung? Will your apartment flood if the creek next to your driveway
overflows it's banks?
