    2:15 am and one of my neighbors....

    Knocks on my door asking why my lights are on.

    Just after midnight the power went out.. a few seconds later my generator kicked in and I'm still sitting at my desk working. Didn't think about it again. All the sudden the dog barks and I'm freaking out cause it's the middle of the night.

    I peek out a window and it's someone I recognize from the neighborhood. I open the door and they ask "How come your lights are on?" I'm thinking what a dumb question and I say "Cause I'm still up". Then I hear the generator in the shed on the other side of the garage (8 cylinder engine running at 1800 rpm) and I realize the power is still off.

      So it powers your whole house and turns on automatically? Nice.

      How much gas does it chew up?

                  It's piped into the natural gas line. We figured it out one time and at a 50% load it was cheaper than electricity.

                      are they usually nosy neighbours, or are they just acting out of concern?

                          We're putting in provision (electrical + gas) for such a generator in our next house, and maybe the actual gen unit too if the building budget allows. ;)

                          How reliable is your power normally?

                              Every little outage we would get in the winters I kept saying I was going to get a generator. ..an hour or two here... 8 hours many times... several long dark nights...

Even for the one day.. what a pain in the butt.

                              I started checking on Home Standby generators especially since I'm on a natural gas line. Finally settled for a beefy model so that it ran at a lower rpm. What I got is a Kohler 35KW. It's essentially a GM Vortec 4.3L V6 engine (I posted above it was a V8 but I was wrong). Generator alone was about $16K in 2007. Then there's the transfer switch and a very very long run of gas pipe that had to be done. Installed it was $23K. Some would say that's alot but with the value of my house and the fact that it increases resale value... and on top of that the fact that I'm not without power ever again short of some disaster that breaks the gas lines too....

                              it was worth it.

                                  They were checking around the neighborhood and my house was one of only a few that had lights on (including my outdoor landscape lighting). They saw enough lights on that the figured I was awake and I guess they didn't even think about the fact they could hear an engine running.

                                              Mentioned that in the post I just wrote.. which was after your post.

                                              In the winter it would go out with any major wind storm. Then off times the rest of the year for anywhere from a couple of hours to 8 or more. In the winter of 2006/2007, we went 5 days with no power and freezing temperatures. I packed my my desktop and moved it to a hotel with working power and internet about half an hour away from my house. My son refused to leave the house at all, because he has reptiles that had to stay warm somehow. He moved them all to in front of my gas fireplace insert. I felt so bad that he wouldn't leave that I didn't stay in the hotel, but rather worked from there part of the day and came back home.

                                              When the power came back on and things settled back to normal, I went hunting for generators. Went overkill for what most would do, but I figured if I was going to bother putting one in, it might as well power the entire house (except for the outdoor ponds and the A/C unit) which is 4300 sq feet.

They saw enough lights on that the figured I was awake and I guess they didn't even think about the fact they could hear an engine running.

Dunno what happened the first time, but the second time it was a tree on lines. Not sure if a car hit it or what. Haven't had any windstorms or any rain for a while. It took out the cable also.

                                                                                                                  Power came back up at 10:30 am and cable about 45 minutes ago.

Hydroplanes on Lake Washington all afternoon.. and weather in the low 90's to go with it.

Then 2 winters ago we had an outage that lasted 5 days in my area. On day four after losing everything in my fridge and both freezers, I snagged a little gas generator at Sears. Even for the one day.. what a pain in the butt.

                                                                                                                              I started checking on Home Standby generators especially since I'm on a natural gas line. Finally settled for a beefy model so that it ran at a lower rpm. What I got is a Kohler 35KW. It's essentially a GM Vortec 4.3L V6 engine (I posted above it was a V8 but I was wrong). Generator alone was about $16K in 2007. Then there's the transfer switch and a very very long run of gas pipe that had to be done. Installed it was $23K. Some would say that's alot but with the value of my house and the fact that it increases resale value... and on top of that the fact that I'm not without power ever again short of some disaster that breaks the gas lines too....

                                                                                                                              it was worth it.

                                                                                                                                          Just after midnight the power went out.. a few seconds later my generator kicked in and I'm still sitting at my desk working. Didn't think about it again. All the sudden the dog barks and I'm freaking out cause it's the middle of the night.

                                                                                                                                          I peek out a window and it's someone I recognize from the neighborhood. I open the door and they ask "How come your lights are on?" I'm thinking what a dumb question and I say "Cause I'm still up". Then I hear the generator in the shed on the other side of the garage (8 cylinder engine running at 1800 rpm) and I realize the power is still off.
