The bottom line once the power goes out many times you do not have a clue how long that can be. It could be long enough for the power company to get a crew at the location and take a dead squirrel of the transformer wires. It could be the time necessary to replace a pole hit by a car or a tree branch taking out some wire.
Then again it could be a super bad snow storm, those power outs could last for days and of course its not that easy working in -20F weather, so that ads to the time. (FWIW I have worked out side in those tempts and if your putting out a 1/3 of the work you do in good weather your real unusual!) Then we get the real nasty stuff a ice storm now those bastards can take out power for multiple weeks. Just getting around to fix could be nasty and I have seen where over a mile of high voltage wires and tower's went to the ground. You got to be prepared for what your area is capable of doing to you. In my case I have a whole house propane genny a shared 500 Gal tank. (general house use & genny) At that point the only thing other than running the genny is to also power the furnace. Also have a pellet stove that while not big enough to do the whole house will help a lot and a deal worked out with the summer only people that if I can make it to their property to take out the 4'6'' tanks they have and utilize them at my house. |

In August 2020, hundreds of thousands of Californians briefly lost power in rolling blackouts amid a heat wave, marking the first time outages were ordered in the state due to insufficient energy supplies in nearly 20 years.Sep 9, 2022 |

So we went for a Kohler whole-house system with automatic transfer, and enough capability & features to run everything. We later added a module that lets me charge my EV as long as there's enough capacity available, which basically means that if both AC systems are not running. EV charging is the lowest priority, so it turns on & off as AC loads come & go. |

It's like the Y2K bug: lots of publicity about the potential problems caused people to get their asses in gear and fix their code. Result: crisis averted. Similarly, during the recent heat wave, people cut back their electricity use sufficiently to avoid any blackourts. |

Good to see that you are still being honest about the fact that you are only here to push your "Storyteller" van products. I appreciate the honesty.
