I paid the electrical contractor who did my house to install a 50 amp plug so I could connect a generator and power the house. I purchased a 9000 watt dual fuel inverter generator and installed a soft start system on my AC. I’ve tested it and it works great. It runs my AC and all the fans and lights/plugs. If I want to run the microwave or the washer/dryer, I have to turn the AC off.

If I never need it, so be it. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. I wouldn’t want to be one hour without power, much less 1 day or 1 week.
