I would love a neighbor like him he will have enough capacity to keep
the neighbors fridges and such running. time for extension cords:
The last time our power went out for an extended period of time (more than
24 hours), we saw an extension cord strung out over the public highway. I
think they had public power on one side of the road but down lines on the
other side. (We lose power a lot because wind takes broken trees into
power lines.)
This was the first extended outage for us since getting a 5KW generator.
Just enough for the water pump, a room air condition, light cooking on the
stove, coffee pot, ice box.
Had it lasted longer I would have played games and heated up a batch of hot
water for some quick showers but it wasn't necessary. The hot water
heater draws 4400 watts. The generator likely could heat water and maybe
run the TV at the same time.
We have some neighbors (on the rich side) who have a large generator that
comes on automatically. When our lights fail, the sound of their generator
tells us whether it's just our transformer or a larger outage.
