Id be a little reluctant to admit that publicly and I think that my first call would be to my insurance company to give them a heads up that they may be receiving a few phone calls.
Maintenance is as important as regularly exercising the gen set, but damn, I'd be a little more than upset and asking some serious questions if I was one of those 39 generator owners that now had a propane paperweight that cost 12 large to replace after one year. 
Id really be curious what the cause of the failures was? All the same failures? Different causes? Im thinking there is a common denominator...namely the company servicing them. |
Agreed on all counts, Chris..... well said.

Our grid has also been good
but we don't have gas heat and our kerosene stove requires electricity. We have wood heat too, but that doesn't help with hot water for showers, and I prefer not to sit in the dark wondering when the juice will come back on.
