Lost power yesterday around 9am till 9pm. Decided to pull out this old construction generator the last owner of the house left behind. Dusted it off chk the oil filled the gas, pulled the choke out, crossed my fingers and pulled the cord. On the third pull it fired up and stayed running till the power came back on. It had a 1 gallon tank so I was filling it up about every 3.5-4hrs.
Don't know how clean the power was from that genny but I didn't care at the time, I plugged it in to a APC surge protector then plugged my 25PDV in to the APC and it seem to work fine all day. As long as I was getting heat and everyone in the family was warm.
I can tell you from yesterday's experience I will be going out and finally getting a larger newer genny and wiring it up for the whole house.
