Been in the house a year now and have lost power twice. This time it has been out since 2am Sunday and PECO says not coming back until 11:00 pm on Thursday. this is a problem when you are an all electric house with a well and the neighbors said this is the 5th time in the last 2 years this has happened and every time it is a substantial amount of time.
I want to look into buying a generator. All I really want to run is a fridge, the well pump, a light or 2 and maybe a TV. I am not worried about heat in the winter because of the stoves. I believe the well pump is 20 amp...1/4 hp...I think. Will verify later. What size generator do I need? Also, is there a way to have an outlet for the well pump installed? It is hard wired now to the board.
What something good but don't want to pay tons. I know...you get what you pay for. Any ideas?
This sucks.
