Power Outage Questions

[cjbage]

Thanks to my job I have a natural gas 15Kw generator and a 5kw UPS.
After hurricane fran hit I never wanted to be with out power.

There is a propane store that installs tanks etc, was thinking of getting one of the propane standby generators put in for running the appliances/water heater and heat pump, but...had to replace the heat pump and have the well redone to bring it up to code because the people that had this place before went the cheap route and the "well company" made a mess of the electrical, dug the well real shallow so it kept running dry and then the morons put in the wrong size pump so it burned out, all last year so need to wait a bit.
