Got a new Duromax XP10000EH Generator, propane question

[ponytug]

Sorry, I don't have any instructions. I had the propane distributor install it. They charged $15 (cash) and furnished the regulator valve, fittings, and labor to hook up to my 250gal tank as well but I don't think that's the 'normal' price. They just "happened" to have a used but good extra regular behind their truck seat

That was a 10 minute job. They set the pressure @ 12psi.

Are you sure it was 12psi? That seems pretty high for a propane line.

You could be right... I'm just writing from memory. Big Mistake at my age. Leave the pressure setting to the experts.

I just asked because propane pressure is normally measured in "inches of water", where 12 inches of water would be about 0.43psi. (The normal maximum inlet pressure for many of Generac's propane generators)

Another one of those oddball units of measure...

All the best,

Peter

A generator can provide a lot more power, at a much lower cost, than today's battery setups. Especially if you are talking whole home. Solar isn't something I'm interested in, it's very costly. Here it has no ROI even with the tax credit, we have been down that path already.
When we need power, the sun isn't shining and batteries won't keep the heat on. Generators provide instant, bountiful energy, for less than a power wall or solar, by a long shot.
Even a generator has no real ROI, but for the cost of convenience, we think it is worth it.
