Money well spent
By Roger Carpenter (Imperial, CA)
I live in Southeastern, California. After a 7.2 magnitude Earthquake, my home went without power for 29 hours before service resumed.

Some folks were out for several days with temps in the 90's. So I thought this is not going to happen again- at least not to me.

Got the 18res-l. Went with Propane because Natural Gas delivery is not a sure thing after an Earthquake.

I had a 250 gallon tank installed and filled. With fuel line and regulator and first fill up the price was about $1,000.

I brought in an electrical contractor for an additional $1000.00 including all connectors, pipe and fittings and got the system wired up. (note) Use a small Electrical Business or get the run around...

System runs great and powers up my 5 ton AC and whatever else I want to use, and only pulls 45 amps. That is just about a 50 percent load and the generator doesn't miss a beat.

I am totally satisfied with this system thus far.

Total cost from start to finish was $7,185.00; but hey, it is worth it because my family will be comfortable in the event of another event!

Comfort and Security
By Richard Lowe (Chapmanville, WV)
After finally getting the generator up and running, I feel safe and secure. It works perfectly.

The power goes off, and the generator comes on to run my entire house. What more could you ask for?

I give it a 5 star rating and would recommend this unit to anyone having power issues.
