Emergency Preparedness Tips:
(Generators - Gas, LP, Propane, Solar)
Personally, I have a Westinghouse 6,500 watt gas unit & 3,000 watt pure sine-wave Tactical Solar Unit. I’m in the city, so if I were to do it again I’d just go with larger Natural Gas Unit. The solar-unit is nice because you can’t hear it. There are advantages to that. However, there’s not enough ump for the frig. compressor. The gas generator needs gas & oil. They also have conversion kit for smaller units like my Westinghouse 6,500 so you can run gas, propane or natural gas.
Transfer switch:
A transfer switch allows you to have a plug outside the house near your fuse box. Normally they have about 6 breakers so you choice which six when you have an electrician wire it in. To use you just plugin your Gen cord and flip breaker to generator setting. Bypasses home breakers so when power is back on it doesn’t short or feed power to power lines.
Some ideas . . 🤔
