Hawk
North Central Texas
I know this was talked about in another thread, but I need to buy a generator in case the power goes out again this winter.
Forecast is for a cold winter. Natural gas supplies are reported to be low due to hurricanes. I can easily see blackouts due to fuel shortages for power plants.
I have a narural gas furnace and I want a generator to keep it going in an outage. Really just need power for the fan. 3/4 hp, I think.
Not looking to run the whole house, just the furnace, a coffee pot, a couple of lamps and maybe the microwave.
5 ton furnace.
My brother has a 3500 watt, but that is reserved in case my mother's power goes out.
Inverter generators are much more expensive that regular generators.
Do I really need one and how big?
It really won't be used for anything else and I hate to spend the extra money, if I don't need to.
Sorry for covering this again.
