| Electric Generators Direct Recommendation |
| By Electric Generators Direct |
Brand new for 2008. Generac has been manufacturing high-quality standby and large UltraSource generators for decades. They are now building residential portable generators.
The new design looks very impressive, and it has some unique features.
For example, the gas cap is purposely offset into the corner of the metal gas tank instead of the center. This way, you don't have to reach when refueling the generator.
Also, it includes an hour meter with maintenance resets. Basically, you can reset the hour meter everytime you change the oil. |

| First class equipment, honest company |
| By Alastair Russell (Bullard, TX) |
I just want to pass along the excellent service and equipment your company provides.
I placed an order and within days the components started to arrive, and the generator was delivered right to my doorstep.
I received this equipment just as the second major snow storm arrived in Texas.
First class equipment and a wonderful, honest company- need I say anymore?! |

| Backup plan for a new baby |
| By Chris Ryland (Sale Creek, TN) |
A colder and more wet than normal winter spells power outages.
With a new baby in the house you got to have a backup plan - Generac is our backup plan - and so far it's been a good one.
Now hearing the weatherman predict snow doesn't bother us at all.
It's the next best thing to a whole house generator. |

| How to Survive a Blizzard Blackout |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
Ice storms and blizzards can snap power lines just as easily as any hurricane, spawning prolonged power outages during the darkest days of the year.
You don’t have to look too hard to find someone who’s weathered a winter power outage.
Just ask me.
Several years ago, my own mother and father endured a 4-day power outage.
My dad chronicled the ordeal, illustrating what can go wrong when your home turns into a walk-in freezer.
For example, when his power went out, so did his electric-powered blower. So even though he had a natural gas furnace, it was rendered useless during the height of the blizzard.
My dad was rightfully concerned about the water pipes freezing. Water expands when frozen, and the pipes can rupture and flood the entire home.
During a blizzard blackout, you can’t just jump into your car and rent a backup generator.
If you live snow country – especially areas hit by wicked ice storms – you need to have a backup generator on site before the first snow flake falls.
If you purchase a portable generator, make sure you purchase a transfer switch too. Why? Most furnaces don’t have electrical outlets. You can’t plug your generator into your furnace… or ceiling fan… or light fixtures.
You simply start your generator outside, run a heavy-duty cord to your transfer switch, and voila… your furnace and lights are restored.
Finally, if you're away from home often (like a vacation home in the mountains), buy a simple monitoring device that will call you if the power goes out or the inside temperature drops significantly.
An early warning can literally save you thousands of dollars in damage later. |
