Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We had our house built in 2007 & I received a great deal of ribbing from family (including wife) & friends for spending the money to get the electrician to wire for the backup generator and for spending $3,000 on the generator. Within the first 6 months our area lost power in one of the worst ice storms in Oklahoma history. I got up the morning of the ice storm and was not aware that power had been lost. I noticed that the oven clock wasn't on, and that was the only indication. While we were watching TV and surfing the internet & making coffee (generally just living our lives) our neighbors were lighting candles and sleeping in their living rooms next to the fireplace to stay warm. We did have to have the electrician come out to get power to our septic system, but other than that, the generator did exactly what it was supposed to do. That time the power to the area was off for 9-12 days and our generator ran 24 hours a day. We have had numerous blackouts for shorter periods of time since then. In changing the oil & filter, the oil looked exactly like I had just poured it in the generator (clear w/no blackness at all). My wife and I both say that in addition to a burglar alarm, a backup generator is one of the things that we will always have in our home, wherever we are.
