We have a Kohler standby generator up north. It kicks in within about 5 seconds of the power going off, but it is noisy and at night you can hear it half a block away. We have amazing neighbors and we offer them to hook up to our outside outlets (the generator produces 50 amps). And it auto tests once a week for 20 minutes, sounds like a power gas mower.
I noticed that TV wiring is underground except for the large power lines, so outages are not that frequent I guess. Am I correct, or do I need a generator in TV too (I have gas utilities)?
