@saragoodtimes it’s good to have a backup because one day it’ll pay for itself

@cherokeepatti doubt it will ever

@saragoodtimes It is still good to have one. Our generator has seen a lot of use through power outages lasting several days due to hurricanes and one terrible freeze.

@exexec seems the only benefit is if power does go out for a little bit the garage door opener will always work

@saragoodtimes Well, that is something.
