autumnwalker Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Looks like our "data centre" (aka my basement) is experiencing power outages during this storm. Anyone want to start a "go fund me" for a backup generator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted October 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 I actually have an electrician coming out this weekend to look at installing a generator panel and some of the loads I want to run (server being an add on, heat + fridge being primary concerns).

Powerram Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Yes, a genset is a great investment, initial cost is there, but savings in food replacement, and comfort is well worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerram Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 We have a small portable genset, it's big enough to power a camper trailer comfortably. It's a 3500w peak and 1600w continuous, manual generator. It's just a mastercraft brand, but iv used it continuous through winter months powering my camper day in , day out, it runs great, only running issues is in the cold,-20 the gen runs cold and needed to be boxed in to stay running smoothly. Never had any problem in the heat tho, ran it in the summer months with just open air around it, couldn't guess how many hrs are on it. It's about 8 years old now.
