Anyone know if there is a dealer in central alberta that stocks standby generators for residential purposes? I see lots online but would prefer to buy locally. Looking for one with a remote start option from an automatic transfer switch.

I used my 4000 inverter a couple times now and it will run all the necessities. runs the fridge, furnace lights and TV fine. Just no 220 for the well pump.A 5000 watt would run that i would think, plus a few lights, Won't run everything at the same time, But a cheap gen may work fir occasional
This is a great thread! I would like to hear some real world experiences with these generators during power outages... Very interesting as you really could eliminate your power bill altogether saving all "delivery charges/monthly" bills, if natural gas is on site or close by...1
Can it be set up so when you hit say a light switch it activates? Because i'm out of the shop more than I'm in it....
Natural gas. It comes with an orfice for propane conversion.What fuel required to run it ?
I got a generac from home hardware .
Got it hooked up to nat. Gas and it works great
