In case of emergency do you have a generator?

a whole house generator that kicks in within seconds of a power loss
@Thrust it's outside runs on natural gas
@RSquared don't you have to run extension cords everywhere though.

@saragoodtimes I do. But am looking into a breaker selectable crossover from the main that only powers selected circuits. Then it can be just plugged into the wall outside when needed.

got one a few years ago after a multi hours loss. mainly on the superstition that if I spent two hundred seventy bucks I would never need to use it.

to date, i have not needed the thing. I'd rather be miffed i wasted 270 on a generator I never use than need it and be supremely furious I didn't have it when needed.

also, first outage, had about 300 worth of meat and other frozen stuff from a trip to the big box store. mine is propane, don't want to store gas and I just swap the bottle when the one for the grill is done.

Yes a whole house generator with an automatic transfer switch. Runs on propane 500 gallon tank. Works wonderfully

Generators are crazy expensive to run like the price of rent

@SStarfish we have 12 cylinder diesel generators for the building i work in. they can cost a lot run I guess. if you're just running a fridge and a few lights it's not costly.

Yes. Inverter and a generator and lots of battery backup.
No. I gave it to a family member.
Yes, we do have one
