Here in the Greatland it’s not uncommon to have power outages, most lasting less than 24 hrs, but depending on the time of year that can be 23 too many hours! During freezing weather the Rabbit’s heat, water pump and lights need constant power; any longer and i’d need to get the generator going.
From mid April till the first of June powers real important to keep the Toyo alive out in the greenhouse and anytime from Mid January till early May when there are starts upstairs heat and light are crucial as well.
I can (and have) moved the Honda 2000 around from one section to the other to keep things afloat but that’s a worry some, nerve wracking endeavor that i prefer to avoid so after almost 30 years, i fixed the problem.
The fix is a 20KW Generac standby generator with auto switching. These systems are pretty affordable and at the 20KW (200 amp) level everything is covered; no load shedding! I can even run the Engine lathe, Milling machine or Welder if i want to.
These days I'm not as trusting of the various entities that control or maintain the public utilities and understanding that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound or cure” i now have a greater peace of mind!
So the next time we have a little “bobble” and the Wife says “what was that” i can tell her we just went on Generator and the power will be back on quicker than the time it took to write this last sentence!
