Re: [Killietalk] Ice storm - standby generators

[Ken Simolo <Simolo at chem_chem.rochester.edu>]

I got tired of losing many fish due to power outages and finally 
upgraded my portable generator to a propane standby generator several 
years ago.  The generator is fed by the same tank that supplies 
propane to my boiler/hot water heater.  It is amazing the peace of 
mind it gives you.  Please note that these are not indoor units but 
are permanently located out of doors.  To locate them inside requires 
significant ducting to supply fresh air for combustion and cooling 
and is usually not allowed in residential installations.  However, 
they make the generators with a weatherproof enclosure that is easily 
installed outside.

Jeff Kilker sells standby generators and I asked him and he said he 
would be willing to talk to anyone who is considering one.  He can be 
reached at (585) 944-7022.
