Generator install today

[Madhouse]

I've been running on a 12,500 Westinghouse and a 50 amp pigtail into the breaker box.  It powers the whole house, no problem, aside from central air.  Hurricane season is when we need it most, and you definitely need a/c in those months.

 

So today there's a crew putting in a 22kw Generac.  We'll be glad to have this, and just in case we lose power and that won't run, I'm still going to be able to rely on the Westinghouse if need be - triple redundancy!

Your generac was most likely made down the road from me. 
 

my parents got one 3-4 years ago. Dad hasn’t said much about it so I guess no news is good news.

My sister had a Generac put in about 2 years ago. It comes on every Monday morning for about 10 minutes. 2 weeks ago it didn't come on. opened the enclosure and the bottom was covered in oil. Under warranty but they are sure dragging their feet about getting it back up running.
