My old generator, a tri-fuel system that was piped into the natural gas line, was almost as big as my new Generac system, but it was much louder and it didn't kick on automatically.
We are having a nice blizzard today. 1" of snow per hour falling, supposed taper off and stop when we hit a foot of snow by morning. But 45mph winds, white out conditions on the roads, cars in the ditches and that was when I went to town about 4 hours ago before the storm really kicked in!
So the lights flickered a little while ago. Then went out. Came back on. Repeated that process again. Then went out again. 30 seconds later the generator started humming and the power kicked back on via generator power.
Comforting to have the new system. Old system worked great but required cutting over to generator fuse box in the basement, then going out to start up the system manually. Not a problem when its light out but a PITA at night.
After 15+ years of the old system I'm glad I got this new one![Smile :smile: :smile:](https://www.forumsforums.com/3_9/images/smilies/SushiSmilies/smile.gif)
