GENERATOR to buy

[soulja]

i need a generator cause there was a hurricane that hit VA and NC and i was out of power for 6 days, and i need one that can handle,

2 refridgerators
1pc with router, modem, wireless mouse
2 stereos 240 and 350 Watts
1-2 Tv's one 27" other is below 15"
possibly Airconditioner or heater during the winter and summer.
microwave

and thats about it......

i need one to handle those and a little more just in case and find one for a low price, say under $1000

not to crap the thread, but two points

1. if the power is out, most likely your cable is out. (especially during a natural disaster)

2. i think with the generators are supposed to be used for essentials items such as fridge. not the computer, stereos, and TV

either way a hurricane hitting Va is not common along with anything else devastating

this think will help you on your quest tho

well, it did hit va, in how many years since a last one, but whats the use of having a generator to just run a fridge, or whatever else without living it out , lol, i know my food got bad, and i feel bad for that, my Bday was sunday and it was still a black out...

i live in NC and i guess you realize that ive seen a whole bunch of hurricanes. we got one that would run everything in the house except the AC we had a special plug installed that gets power from the genereater i dont know what model it is i'll have to go down to the shop and check things out.

We have always owned Generac generators and have had reliable service. Their website will help you size the generator to your needs. Home Depot had a chart, pamphlets available last year giving the same info. OUr 5500KW keeps a fridge, water pump, and furnace running if needed. Nothing else.
