When we all lost power, her house remaoined comfortable for several days with no heat leakage, but she and her guests came to our house for showers and cooking amenities because she had no power and we had a 6.5KW generator in a larger house. Small generator because we don't have central a/c. I don't know anybody who has a standby generator who is unhappy with the purchase, regardless of losing more or fewer days of electricty from year to year.

We used our window air-conditioners only one night this summer.
Do we have too many trees?
