Hopefully what we need

Bought this for Hurricane season, just in case. Put the wheels on, oil and gas...cranked right up. Push button start is a really nice feature. Be interested to see how long it will run on a tank a gas...if we ever need it. Hopefully it will like new in 20 years because we never needed it.
We purchased this generator after we had a transfer switch professionally installed. It will power the house, including our central AC, in the event of a prolonged power outage. Fingers crossed we will never need to use it, but knowing we have it in the garage ready to go gives great piece of mind.
We have not used it yet other briefly connecting to our new transfer switch, but have run it and become familiar with all of the operating features and maintenance procedures. It easily provides enough power to run all 10 of our circuits. Easy to operate and the remote start feature is excellent. The manual pull start is nearly effortless. We are ready for the eminent PG&E shut downs this fall.
I bought the Westinghouse portable generator a month ago, and so far I am very pleased. Good power to run the house including 3.5 ton AC. I had it wired with soft start to reduce the AMP spike when the compressor starts. Extra features are nice, including remote start, harmonic gauge, and 50 AMP cord outlet. So far I have only run it for a couple of hours, the real test will be when it is needed for longer periods.
