The longest I can remember being out of power was about 5 days. That was in 2002 for Hurricane Lilly.

About 2 years ago I installed a 24kw generator that will power my whole house and my shop. I had to run about 850' of 1" natural gas line to get to my generator. Since March 1, 2023, it has run for 13 hours that we were out of power.

It was expensive, but I am really happy that I made the investment, every time the power goes out.
Lucky you we had over 3 weeks with Hugo outside Charlotte, NC long way from the coast. About that long a few years later with big ice/snow storm. Over 1/2" of ice topped by 18" of snow, big deal in southern NC, northern SC

A few years ago, for Hurricane Delta, our power company was reporting 98% of their customers were out of power. We never lost power at my house. I thought that was a small miracle...

I was looking at a 22KW unit. It was going to cost as much to install as the unit...not cheap.

I'm looking at a 3pth unit. All that I care about is running my fridge and freezers often enough to keep them at temperature, and running the water pump. To the OP and others in the path, it's good to hear that you suffered no major damage.

Is that a 3 point hitch PTO unit or a 3 phase unit?

All the best, Peter

Be safe, my friend.

Luckily, south of me... But I was just down there last week cleaning up storm damage from three weeks ago.
