Like a true Midwesterner when the weather gets rough I go out to observe. Somewhere I still have the storm spotter call number card.
If I remember right (I remember you needing to replace your gen set several years back) your generator and transfer switch is sized and setup to power your entire home, not just dedicated loads. Paul
Our power went out briefly, and our generator started. My bedside clock (whose internal battery backup stopped working decades ago) wasn't blinking, so it must have been very quick.
Per news I just read, heavy winds took down a lot of power lines. 280,000 without power. Did yours stay up? or go down?
My brother in Monroe (S of this set of storms) has an emergency generator hooked up if/when the power at his house goes out. He has already used it once in the last couple of months.
