Generator installation
In early 2000 I wanted to install a generator. The electrician suggested a unit large enough to carry the entire house, auto-transfer, weekly auto-exercise, and an over-sized LP tank. My reaction was "over-sell", and we talked about it for a while, and I finally agreed to his plan. The was the best decision. Never had a problem. When we moved, I wanted a generator, called (now a different electrician) the electrician, told him I wanted a unit large enough to carry the whole house, auto-transfer, weekly auto-exercise, and extra LP tanks. He was silent for a moment, then said, "You've done this before." Yes, so that is what I had installed. It isn't cheap, but it is money well-spent, peace of mind, and one less "system" to worry about. The punch line by me about generators is very simple" "Go big, go auto-auto, and have periodic (annual) service".
