My standby generator self runs every week for 20 minutes. One time someone shut the gas line off to the generator. It had to be restarted manually. There were a few steps, first one was I had to find the key to the cover box. Hubby was working his long hours as usual. But it does give comfort, takes 3 to 5 seconds to kick in and even the television doesn’t seem to notice the power transfer.
We had a bedridden person home alone once when the power went out in the winter for a long time. The temperature in the house fell dramatically and she could not even ask for help. Since then we have our standby.
