Best whole home generator

[Smilee]

Be glad to discuss on individual basis. The solution for one isn’t always the best for the next.

Mines been running since 3 am. And everyone’s calling wanting a gen hooked up today.

I’d say we are in for a 2-3 day outage.

For all the do it yourselfers, know that gensets can backfeed to the mainline and kill the very folks working to restore your power in certain situations. Know what you are doing...

Correct!

The interlock kit that DC referenced is a must.

GenerLink is probably the easiest and safest way to connect, but Dominion Energy will not allow them on your home. I can't speak for Duke, Santee or any of the coops.

I'd take a look at briggs and stratton. I was all about a generac and someone told me to compare the warranties. Also the weekly exercise for the briggs and stratton is only 6 seconds. I did lot research 2 years ago. If you have any questions I'll be happy to help.

Me? I am a Cummins Onan man. 25 years worth of sterling service. You might notice that I said we just put in a new Generac. It really needs to be all about your location and service availability. Could not work with the local Onan people and went through 3 different Generac people until I found my old country guy from Walterboro...

Think the briggs I bought had a 10 year warranty....10 years ago
