Our generator comes with a funny story.
Back in 2009, the area just north of me was hit with a pretty bad ice storm which resulted in many people losing power for days and even weeks. We never lost power at my house my mother in law, who lived with us at the time got real paranoid and wanted us to get a generator. I told her that I wasn't about to drop that kind of money on what would, for the most part, be a dust collector in the garage. Well, she insisted and let me pick out a generator that she paid for which happened to be a 7.5kW Honeywell. About year later she moved into senior housing leaving the generator behind.
In the 5 years we've had the generator, our longest power failure was 12 hours. I pull the generator out twice a year and let it run for an hour or so before putting it away again.
Free generator thanks to a paranoid old woman.
