Hang in there!I'm freakin out some...
I think I might get one of those while house automatic propane generators....JUST for the circuit my tank is on
Great ideas. With all of the devastation I have been thinking about my backup plan (or lack thereof). I live in the north and when we lose electricity it is because of snow. So the first consideration is heaters. The second oxygen.
We have two deep cycle batteries on the camping trailer and the harbor freight solar panels to charge them. I would need an inverter. (probably dirt cheap at HF).
Do you think that would be enough for heat and circulation for a few days?
I purchased 2 deep cycle batteries from the local auto parts store. I purchased a 5000 watt Cobra inverter and I purchased a 110v auto transfer switch (you can get them at solar supply warehouses). And lastly, I purchased a Battery Tender.
I built a small rack on wheels and wired the batteries in parallel to the inverter. The Battery tenders are on the batteries and when the power goes out, the transfer switch senses the power loss and flips over to the battery.
It runs my entire system for 12-16 hours. The heater is the only device not connected.
