Geah! Had the generator hooked up last night for some tv and light action, hooked up the fridge, today went and got another three pronged extension cord and got the computer up and running! Aint so bad w/o power if ya have something to do!
Of course it’s loud as hell and probably pissing off the neighbors (we did hook up our one neighbor so they could run their fridge and tv and stuff too so fvck the rest of them!)
my power went out last night around 9 or so…as soon as it did i ran up to my trailer pulled out my generator and since then ive had my tv comp fridge and freezer hooked up…
Out in the country we couldn’t live thru storm season without a generator. The worst thing is we have well water, and of course the pump is electric.
Been meaning to buy one of these transfer switches for years. It wires right into your breaker panel, and you connect it with a twist lok extension cord to the generator when you need it.
my aunt has one…she has it hooked up somehow to the box for when the power goes out…the amzing thing is the power used to always go out. after the install it never goes out
yea they are hooked inline so that when the power goes out they kick on a few seconds later and boom your the only house in the neighborhood with all the windows lit up
Good idea…We still don’t have power. It’s been a blessing to have the generator. They teased us yesterday evening with a few flickers, and then, nothing.
We are doing this in our next house for sure, and we are making my parents get one too. They live in VA and they lost power last year for 8 days. Hardwired into the house, run off natural gas, automatic switch over when power is out.
