Very similar to my setup.I currently have a 2000w Honda and a modified UPS that runs off 2 deep cycle batteries. The apex will sense an outage and turn off everything except the return but at a reduced output. A heater will kick on if the temp drops a few deg below the normal range.
I just priced a Generac 22KW for my house and it came in at $10,000. My wife said she would replace all my fish and corals for a lot less. The girl has a point.
200 gallon of what fuel lasts 45 days? Have a link to the generator?
Yeah- that’s why I quoted him haha. I was wondering if he created a perpetual energy device
I wouldn't go by Generacs recommendation for a generator. You have to feed that large gen set. If I'm selling them, sure Ill sell you my most expensive item.
I barely load my 11kw with 2 refrigerators , 1 deep freeze, a 125g tank and 2 young kids in a 2500 sqft home. Generac said I needed a 20kw.
I did some research and looked thru a bunch of reviews of all of the whole house generators. I have a 3400 sq ft home w two big ole Tranes to run. With how hot it is down here need the ac. Especially hurricane season. Still 92 plus super high humidity when they hit. I w a 500 gallon will get 4 days out of the 400 gal it gets filled. Now thats me lounging in 68 degree house w as much ability as if power were on. My sister has a Generac 22 kw on her 6000 sq home and she blew thru a 300 gallon tank in 3 days being very frugal on power consumption. That’s why I got bigger tank.
Ya bro. It’s ridiculous. I think just to have the tank sunk and filled was almost 5k. I was not expecting that at all. But I had already got the Generator delivered when the quote came so I was stuck like chuckI’m glad I don’t have your fuel bill.
Interesting. Why are you required to bury the tank? Not necessary in ALYa bro. It’s ridiculous. I think just to have the tank sunk and filled was almost 5k. I was not expecting that at all. But I had already got the Generator delivered when the quote came so I was stuck like chuck
I bet you feel better w it though. I afterMy final straw was one late summer storm. My home had a small flood from a loss of power/no backup sump pump/ sewer back up. Had 3" of water in my lower level. Replaced everything and bought a small generator to run a sump pump/fridge. I was at work when my wife called. Said we lost power and it was raining hard. The tornado sirens were going off. My town doesn't sound the siren for fun. She took my kids, 3 and 5 months, downstairs just in case. Called to ask if she should drag the gen out and hook it up.
I bought the Generac a month later.
A side note, we used to lose power once a month for no reason. Ever since I installed the generator, we lost power twice in 5 years... Go figure.
I live in a deeply deed restricted neighborhood. They would Never allow for the tank exposed plus I believe it’s county ordinance here is Sarasota. I literally had to get my Lawyer involved just to get the ok to sink it in the ground from my **** HOA. Think he charged me $500. I paid a bunch to have installed. I think it was around 13k bye the time it first fired up. Permitting was another hassle and long time to get approved. The whole process really sucked for me and I was not expecting it at all. Ha, I guess I feel better now. Haha. I almost wanted a lil storm to come knock out power for a few hours just to get that little extra good feeling about having it. I’m sure it will be found a great investment one of these daysInteresting. Why are you required to bury the tank? Not necessary in AL
