Hurricane Katrina left us with no electrical service for 5 days and my wife
with 6 wedding cakes to decorate and deliver. Rule #1... You can't do wedding
cakes in Alabama without A/C. My little nat gas generator is only 7kw and
while it gives you lights and fans... no a/c... time for Plan B
I'm looking at something in the range of 25-30 kw backup units so I can run 50
amps of a/c and about 30 amps of refrigeration, plus lights, tv,etc. Will be
natural gas fired and I want auto cutover and return to utility service.
>From what I see, Guardian is the best deal..
I'm looking for input, good experience, bad experiences, suggestions and
ideas... I'm already wired for 100 amps with a 100 amp manual transfer
switch, so some box swapping hopefully get me where I need to be... Fuel is
plumbed to old generator, so I'm hoping a new concrete pad and a little wiring
will do it...
tell me all I need to know.... I'm looking at 7-10 grand (25-30kw) and
that's a lot to swallow... I need all the info I can gather..
thanks
john
