After two months of weather related cancellations, my home backup generator is finally installed! Come on snow, I dare you! I'm prepared now! Woohooo!
Now where's that dancing emoji?

3. Mine cones on automatically

No switch to flip .

4. Mine too.

I bought an entrance rated transfer switch, so the whole house is hooked up. No dedicated circuits.

2. Make sure your exhaust is properly vented...

and that snow won't have a chance to block it.

5. Yep yep

I put it where I can step out on the back deck and visually check it if we get a heavy snow.

I'll be singing that all night once the snow starts.

8. We have one and it weekly self checked on

on Tuesdays at 1:00. We had a bitter cold snow, electricity went out and it didn’t turn on. The person who maintains it for us thinks the regulator may have frozen🙃

9. Did you try a manual start?

And, I'm sorry to hear that happened. That's a lot of money to spend to not perform when you need it.

10. I dont know about starting it manually.

Seems like the maintenance guy would have told us that was possible. I’ll ask my husband. And, that’s exactly what I said: spend all that money and it doesn’t work when you need it🤨 Fortunately the outage was less than 2 hours😃

11. I asked for one for Xmas one year. The best present I've ever gotten. n/t

12. Hahaha

You sound like my wife! We had a l ready made the purchase, and I asked her what she wanted for X'mas and her reply was "a generator." I wrapped a box that had a downloaded picture of the genny in it and gave it to her X'mas morning. She was slightly angry. "We weren't supposed to get each other anything for X'mas!" She opened it, looked at me with a laugh on her face and called me an asshole.
