Been without power for 2 days now because of Isaac and tired of listening to this loud *** 5500 watt generator and having to keep feeding it gas. Freaking neighbors 1000 feet away has had power since yesterday around 6pm . No trees on the line, no poles down anywhere. Tried calling Entergy and that's a joke. Considering putting in a whole house generator and was wondering if any of you have one and if you do what brand and did you install it yourself. Seems like the most common is Generac Guardian.

 

Yeah..Generac is the most common, Have help move them around a time or 2..But nothing with the install...Those 5500 watt'ers you can still hook to your house,and if you have a boat you can just hook the gas line to your boat and let it feed off the boats tank...If you buy it from some company that does it,try calling in the winter time when there times get slow,might get a cheaper price..

 

I have it hooked to the house but it can't run the ac, oven, water heater, dryer. I want to be prepared for next time.

 

Do you have a tractor? I got a pto driven generator. Runs entire compound!

 

i have a 14k generac on a 500 gal propane tank with auto switch....the whole thing was about $3500 when i installed it and it's great.

 

get the generac i have one its great

 

Guy calls his house a compound. Reminiscent of something like...Jurassic Park. Awesome lol.

 

no i just have a little honda generator, it's enough to run lights, refrigerator and keep the heater on (oil heater)...no electric water heater or clothes drier or anything though.

 

My power stayed off 4 full days from isaac ran a 5000 watt generator almost non stop. I have my generator connected to a welding machine plug in my shop but it still sucks.

 

I have a 16k watt generac at my shop. My suggestion is move.
