It is indeed good to hear that a ten year resident has never needed a generator.
Also, we "hear you" re how fast the heat can build up and make one uncomfortable indoors.
Our power up here seems to go out much more often in the wintertime due to falling trees on power lines.
However, my husband has decided that if we do buy, he will have generator installed outdoors that is permanent. Ditto for the hurricane shutters that automatically go up and down or whatever.
Up in the Orlando area, the people are always complaining about the power outages up that way.......and we know people who went through Hurricane Andrew who were without power for weeks...........which would not be tolerable to those not used to that 110 "real feel" heat and humidity.
This summer up north has been extremely humid and it's not pleasant at all , unless you have "air".
Ours has been running all summer long.
ONE LAST QUESTION:
Are the power lines underground in TV?
