00:01:16.240 –> 00:01:17.560
rate their podcast as well so we
00:01:17.560 –> 00:01:21.000
appreciate that so today folks on the
00:01:21.000 –> 00:01:22.960
show we’re going to talk about a couple
00:01:22.960 –> 00:01:25.480
of things today but I do want to talk
00:01:25.480 –> 00:01:28.560
about generators because they’re very
00:01:28.560 –> 00:01:30.480
very important look around your house
00:01:30.480 –> 00:01:32.280
today and tell me what doesn’t run on
00:01:32.280 –> 00:01:35.080
electricity and you’d be hard-pressed to
00:01:35.080 –> 00:01:36.240
find something that doesn’t need
00:01:36.240 –> 00:01:39.640
electric that and if you’re in a place
00:01:39.640 –> 00:01:42.800
or like in a lot of homes that have
00:01:42.800 –> 00:01:45.280
wells and septics you can’t even really
00:01:45.280 –> 00:01:47.680
flush the toilet or I get a glass of
00:01:47.680 –> 00:01:51.840
water really you know without you know
00:01:51.840 –> 00:01:53.880
with without electric so a generator
00:01:53.880 –> 00:01:55.520
power is going to be very important to
00:01:55.520 –> 00:01:57.360
you especially in the case of a natural
00:01:57.360 –> 00:01:59.040
disaster now there are other powers
00:01:59.040 –> 00:02:00.920
besides generators we’re just going to
00:02:00.920 –> 00:02:02.680
touch on generators today because I want
00:02:02.680 –> 00:02:04.000
to do a whole show just on solar power
00:02:04.000 –> 00:02:05.640
but we’re just going to go ahead and hit
00:02:05.640 –> 00:02:06.960
on generators today talk about that a
00:02:06.960 –> 00:02:09.720
little bit I’m talking about how to use
00:02:09.720 –> 00:02:11.880
them talking about what to do with them
00:02:11.880 –> 00:02:14.640
now folks I am not by any stretch of the
00:02:14.640 –> 00:02:17.480
imagination okay a licensed electrician
00:02:17.480 –> 00:02:19.600
okay I only know a couple things that
00:02:19.600 –> 00:02:20.640
I’ve read on the internet that I’ve
00:02:20.640 –> 00:02:22.800
tried myself is of that so if you don’t
00:02:22.800 –> 00:02:24.240
know what you’re doing don’t take my
00:02:24.240 –> 00:02:25.720
word for it get a professional and to
00:02:25.720 –> 00:02:27.560
show you what to do or how to handle it
00:02:27.560 –> 00:02:29.280
okay like I said I’m not a licensed
00:02:29.280 –> 00:02:31.520
electrician or anything so I only know
00:02:31.520 –> 00:02:32.800
what I’ve been what I’ve been told what
00:02:32.800 –> 00:02:35.040
I’ve done what I’ve read so if you’re
00:02:35.040 –> 00:02:37.280
at all unfamiliar with any of this stuff
00:02:37.280 –> 00:02:38.640
I really strongly suggest you get
00:02:38.640 –> 00:02:39.720
somebody here maybe they can show you
00:02:39.720 –> 00:02:42.320
what to do so there’s a few things with
00:02:42.320 –> 00:02:45.880
generators now a couple things first
00:02:45.880 –> 00:02:46.840
there are two different types of
00:02:46.840 –> 00:02:48.200
generators there’s portable generators
00:02:48.200 –> 00:02:52.080
and then there is full-on backup
00:02:52.080 –> 00:02:53.160
generators now there’s going to be a
00:02:53.160 –> 00:02:55.600
couple different so the full-on
00:02:55.600 –> 00:02:59.000
generators themselves okay that is going
00:02:59.000 –> 00:03:03.520
to be your it’s going to be a generator
00:03:03.520 –> 00:03:04.800
that sits outside it’s not portable
00:03:04.800 –> 00:03:06.040
there’s going to be on a base you’re
00:03:06.040 –> 00:03:07.400
probably gonna have a slab put in for it
00:03:07.400 –> 00:03:09.400
with some cement you know cement slab
00:03:09.400 –> 00:03:10.800
put in generator you sit on top of that
00:03:10.800 –> 00:03:12.320
you’re gonna build either gonna be an
00:03:12.320 –> 00:03:14.080
outside monitor you’re gonna build you
00:03:14.080 –> 00:03:15.840
know a dome around it or something okay
00:03:15.840 –> 00:03:18.120
and that’s gonna be run to inside your
00:03:18.120 –> 00:03:22.120
home right now that generator is probably
00:03:22.120 –> 00:03:26.040
going to run on propane most likely okay
00:03:26.040 –> 00:03:28.600
now again one I believe it can run on
00:03:28.600 –> 00:03:30.560
some of them can run on natural gas but
00:03:30.560 –> 00:03:33.440
I’m not sure which ones okay the big
00:03:33.440 –> 00:03:35.360
name is generac they’re the big ones
00:03:35.360 –> 00:03:36.960
they are the ones that I’ve seen
00:03:36.960 –> 00:03:38.240
advertisements for they’re the ones that
00:03:38.240 –> 00:03:39.720
most of my buddies have and all that now
00:03:39.720 –> 00:03:42.200
generac makes a really good generator
00:03:42.200 –> 00:03:44.480
hey but again it is kind of the Cadillac
00:03:44.480 –> 00:03:47.760
model so now with the generac generator
00:03:47.760 –> 00:03:49.200
you’re going to get a backup generator I
00:03:49.200 –> 00:03:50.760
strongly recommend that you contact
00:03:50.760 –> 00:03:53.640
generac themselves or go to a place
00:03:53.640 –> 00:03:55.320
where they actually will have somebody
00:03:55.320 –> 00:03:57.600
there that knows about generators because
00:03:57.600 –> 00:03:59.680
what’s going to happen is the guy when
00:03:59.680 –> 00:04:01.520
you decide to get that that generac
00:04:01.520 –> 00:04:03.560
generator for backup your backup power
00:04:03.560 –> 00:04:06.840
okay and you’re going to want to have
00:04:06.840 –> 00:04:09.120
somebody come in and they’ll put a meter
00:04:09.120 –> 00:04:10.080
on it you’ll see the amount of
00:04:10.080 –> 00:04:12.400
electricity you’re using and what they’ll
00:04:12.400 –> 00:04:14.640
do is they’ll go ahead and say okay this
00:04:14.640 –> 00:04:16.040
guy’s using this much this is the
00:04:16.040 –> 00:04:18.440
generator size you need now I strongly
00:04:18.440 –> 00:04:19.720
recommend that whatever they tell you
00:04:19.720 –> 00:04:21.440
you need to get a little bit bigger it’s
00:04:21.440 –> 00:04:22.680
always better to go a little bigger than
00:04:22.680 –> 00:04:25.120
then to go right about the right size so
00:04:25.120 –> 00:04:26.400
go ahead and get something just a little
00:04:26.400 –> 00:04:27.840
bit bigger than what you actually need
00:04:27.840 –> 00:04:30.080
okay I recommend that with anything okay
00:04:30.080 –> 00:04:31.800
because you know especially when you’re
00:04:31.800 –> 00:04:34.220
dealing with with the generator you’re
00:04:34.220 –> 00:04:36.280
dealing with a situation okay where
00:04:36.280 –> 00:04:40.880
predominantly you could okay if you you
00:04:40.880 –> 00:04:42.160
know if you go don’t get big enough it
00:04:42.160 –> 00:04:43.240
could be things you may need to run that
00:04:43.240 –> 00:04:45.240
you can’t you may end up either burden
00:04:45.240 –> 00:04:46.920
generator out or causing a fire or some
00:04:46.920 –> 00:04:48.240
of that so you want to make sure get the
00:04:48.240 –> 00:04:49.920
guy out from generac or get whoever the
00:04:49.920 –> 00:04:51.280
electrician is whoever the local
00:04:51.280 –> 00:04:53.480
generac dealer is get them out there
00:04:53.480 –> 00:04:55.800
okay and get them to actually say okay
00:04:55.800 –> 00:04:57.600
look at this setup and you tell me what
00:04:57.600 –> 00:05:00.560
I need okay very important and get
00:05:00.560 –> 00:05:01.640
something a little bigger than what you
00:05:01.640 –> 00:05:03.640
need okay because you may ever know over
00:05:03.640 –> 00:05:05.000
time remember that generators gonna be
00:05:05.000 –> 00:05:06.680
in you that those generac generators are
00:05:06.680 –> 00:05:08.240
good for about ten years or so I believe
00:05:08.240 –> 00:05:10.760
so you in time may decide you’re
00:05:10.760 –> 00:05:12.480
switching from a gas stove to electric
00:05:12.480 –> 00:05:14.280
stove you may decide you’re switching
00:05:14.280 –> 00:05:18.000
from you know from a gas fireplace to an
00:05:18.000 –> 00:05:19.800
electric fireplace you may change your
00:05:19.800 –> 00:05:21.160
heating source and all that kind of
00:05:21.160 –> 00:05:23.080
stuff so you don’t know so always get a
00:05:23.080 –> 00:05:24.480
little bit bigger okay I know it’s like
00:05:24.480 –> 00:05:25.720
you know those generac generators a
00:05:25.720 –> 00:05:27.600
little bit of an investment okay but
00:05:27.600 –> 00:05:28.920
it’s definitely gonna be worth it alone
00:05:28.920 –> 00:05:30.840
now I’m not gonna lie I don’t have one
00:05:30.840 –> 00:05:33.160
okay I wish I did but I don’t okay I
00:05:33.160 –> 00:05:35.320
have a portable generator okay but I
00:05:35.320 –> 00:05:38.240
want you to go ahead okay and take the
00:05:38.240 –> 00:05:41.960
time okay and make sure okay that you
00:05:41.960 –> 00:05:43.400
get somebody in and make sure you get
00:05:43.400 –> 00:05:44.720
them to measure the power you need don’t
00:05:44.720 –> 00:05:46.280
just go out and buy one make sure you
00:05:46.280 –> 00:05:48.280
get the guy to come out see what kind of
00:05:48.280 –> 00:05:50.080
electricity using most consultations are
00:05:50.080 –> 00:05:53.600
free folks okay and come out check out
00:05:53.600 –> 00:05:55.800
how are you using and then after that
00:05:55.800 –> 00:05:58.720
have him go ahead and set you up with a
00:05:58.720 –> 00:06:00.280
generator what you need and all that
00:06:00.280 –> 00:06:02.680
okay now once that generator comes
00:06:02.680 –> 00:06:06.120
inside okay there’s going to be a
00:06:06.120 –> 00:06:09.840
transfer switch okay in that transfer
00:06:09.840 –> 00:06:11.520
switch what’s gonna happen is if you
00:06:11.520 –> 00:06:14.000
ever lose main power the generator
00:06:14.000 –> 00:06:16.000
automatically kick on and it will
00:06:16.000 –> 00:06:18.480
automatically bring your electric back
00:06:18.480 –> 00:06:19.760
up once the generator kicks out okay
00:06:19.760 –> 00:06:22.260
there’s a couple second delay okay so
00:06:22.260 –> 00:06:24.840
it’s very very important that if you’re
00:06:24.840 –> 00:06:26.160
going to have a backup generator like
00:06:26.160 –> 00:06:27.360
that you have all your electronics your
00:06:27.360 –> 00:06:29.880
computers anything that’s electronic
00:06:29.880 –> 00:06:32.560
like that that’s sensitive I actually
00:06:32.560 –> 00:06:34.040
have those on a battery backup because
00:06:34.040 –> 00:06:35.680
there will be a second or two when the
00:06:35.680 –> 00:06:37.120
generator cuts over that there will be
00:06:37.120 –> 00:06:39.960
power loss and you could pretty much fry
00:06:39.960 –> 00:06:42.160
something also do folks generators
00:06:42.160 –> 00:06:44.120
generate what they call dirt they
00:06:44.120 –> 00:06:45.680
generate what they call dirty electric
00:06:45.680 –> 00:06:47.360
that’s not clean electric like what
00:06:47.360 –> 00:06:50.280
comes from your you know your your
00:06:50.280 –> 00:06:51.960
standard you know your electric company
00:06:51.960 –> 00:06:53.460
so you’re going to need to probably have
00:06:53.460 –> 00:06:54.720
some stuff on battery backup if you
00:06:54.720 –> 00:06:56.040
don’t want to burn out anything so very
00:06:56.040 –> 00:06:57.320
important they’re just hang remember that
00:06:57.320 –> 00:07:00.120
in the back of your mind so some other
00:07:00.120 –> 00:07:01.400
things as well as you’re going to have to
00:07:01.400 –> 00:07:02.800
think about with the backup generator
00:07:02.800 –> 00:07:04.960
now we’ll be running on propane so you
00:07:04.960 –> 00:07:07.080
need to make a decision is how much
00:07:07.080 –> 00:07:09.080
propane you’re going to have on tap now
00:07:09.080 –> 00:07:12.240
the more propane you have and the more
00:07:12.240 –> 00:07:13.680
expensive is going to be to run okay I’ll
00:07:13.680 –> 00:07:15.800
say a friend of mine had a backup
00:07:15.800 –> 00:07:17.240
generator we lost power during one of
00:07:17.240 –> 00:07:19.120
the hurricanes he ran that thing non-stop
00:07:19.120 –> 00:07:22.040
okay he went through about two hundred
00:07:22.040 –> 00:07:23.640
and almost think 200 gallons of propane
00:07:23.640 –> 00:07:25.800
so we had a pretty hefty bill now if
00:07:25.800 –> 00:07:28.080
you can afford it that’s fine but I’m
00:07:28.080 –> 00:07:29.400
telling you okay you’re going to have a
00:07:29.400 –> 00:07:30.720
bill suppose it runs on propane you’re
00:07:30.720 –> 00:07:32.160
gonna decide you want one tank or two
00:07:32.160 –> 00:07:34.260
tanks and how much are you willing to
00:07:34.260 –> 00:07:37.480
spend if the electric goes out also to
00:07:37.480 –> 00:07:40.720
strongly recommend okay if you are using
00:07:40.720 –> 00:07:42.280
a backup generator of any kind whether
00:07:42.280 –> 00:07:44.720
to be you know the standard ones that
00:07:44.720 –> 00:07:46.320
use for full backup or if you use a
00:07:46.320 –> 00:07:47.640
portable we’re going to get into that in
00:07:47.640 –> 00:07:49.960
a minute you strongly recommend that you
00:07:49.960 –> 00:07:51.840
do think about how you’re going to serve
00:07:51.840 –> 00:07:54.680
conserve electricity because remember
00:07:54.680 –> 00:07:59.360
folks and I think it’ll be running 24/7
00:07:59.360 –> 00:08:01.840
okay okay you’re not going to last very
00:08:01.840 –> 00:08:03.720
long especially if you have another long
00:08:03.720 –> 00:08:06.040
long outage okay you’re not going to
00:08:06.040 –> 00:08:09.680
last very long okay on just a few you
00:08:09.680 –> 00:08:13.240
know I need are just a few you know a
00:08:13.240 –> 00:08:15.200
few things gas so you’re going to want
00:08:15.200 –> 00:08:17.600
to make a decision folks to you okay hey
00:08:17.600 –> 00:08:21.000
you know we’re you know we have an
00:08:21.000 –> 00:08:23.760
outage here you know how much
00:08:23.760 –> 00:08:27.480
electricity you know am I going to use
00:08:27.480 –> 00:08:29.800
you know how much how much am I going to
00:08:29.800 –> 00:08:31.080
how am I going to conserve because
00:08:31.080 –> 00:08:33.080
remember folks you’re going to have if
00:08:33.080 –> 00:08:35.080
you have a long out is like Katrina or
00:08:35.080 –> 00:08:36.960
something like that or or any of those
00:08:36.960 –> 00:08:39.480
there any of those and you you may have
00:08:39.480 –> 00:08:40.960
a prolonged outage for 10 to 14 days
00:08:40.960 –> 00:08:42.640
you’re going to go through a lot of
00:08:42.640 –> 00:08:44.920
propane you may run out and if it’s a
00:08:44.920 –> 00:08:46.320
situation like when we had hurricane
00:08:46.320 –> 00:08:48.640
sandy up here in Pennsylvania you’re
00:08:48.640 –> 00:08:49.680
going to remember to folks you’re not
00:08:49.680 –> 00:08:52.360
going to be able to get delivery and it
00:08:52.360 –> 00:08:53.600
could be so you’re going to have to
00:08:53.600 –> 00:08:54.520
think about how you’re going to serve
00:08:54.520 –> 00:08:57.800
that electric how you’re going to you
00:08:57.800 –> 00:08:59.080
know when you’re going to turn it off I
00:08:59.080 –> 00:09:01.600
strongly recommend folks if you can only
00:09:01.600 –> 00:09:04.600
run it at night that’s all we did with
00:09:04.600 –> 00:09:06.000
my little portable generator we ran it
00:09:06.000 –> 00:09:07.040
at night for a couple hours we could
00:09:07.040 –> 00:09:10.280
lights on TV stuff like that okay so
00:09:10.280 –> 00:09:13.640
that was what we did okay you’re going
00:09:13.640 –> 00:09:16.440
to have to make a decision okay how long
00:09:16.440 –> 00:09:17.480
you’re going to show you may have to
00:09:17.480 –> 00:09:19.720
stretch that gas you don’t want you know
00:09:19.720 –> 00:09:21.280
so you might say well a night we’ll turn
00:09:21.280 –> 00:09:24.400
it on you know and you know during Dave
00:09:24.400 –> 00:09:25.680
one of the updates we’ll just listen to
00:09:25.680 –> 00:09:27.100
the local radios and I got some
00:09:27.100 –> 00:09:28.800
batteries with Orna and you know radio
00:09:28.800 –> 00:09:30.240
some of that so you’re going to have to
00:09:30.240 –> 00:09:31.600
make that decision as part of the
00:09:31.600 –> 00:09:32.640
generator decide how you’re going to
00:09:32.640 –> 00:09:35.920
conserve and all that very important
00:09:35.920 –> 00:09:37.000
make sure you think about those things
00:09:37.000 –> 00:09:38.520
when you’re thinking about the generator
00:09:38.520 –> 00:09:40.480
some other things with the generators
00:09:40.480 –> 00:09:42.960
well folks like I said you may want to
00:09:42.960 –> 00:09:45.880
consider like I said you when you think
00:09:45.880 –> 00:09:47.360
your backup generator what do you need
00:09:47.360 –> 00:09:49.200
to run to keep going if you have
00:09:49.200 –> 00:09:50.600
central you know you may if you have
00:09:50.600 –> 00:09:52.440
central water as much as I don’t
00:09:52.440 –> 00:09:54.000
recommend it if you if you need to cut
00:09:54.000 –> 00:09:55.960
back and you have central water you may
00:09:55.960 –> 00:09:58.760
say well you know you know we have
00:09:58.760 –> 00:10:02.040
central water will be fine you know but
00:10:02.040 –> 00:10:03.200
the people that have wells and septics
00:10:03.200 –> 00:10:03.880
they’re going to need a little bit
00:10:03.880 –> 00:10:05.440
bigger to run those bigger appliances
00:10:05.440 –> 00:10:07.520
they’re holding tanks stuff like that so
00:10:07.520 –> 00:10:08.320
that’s something you’re going to have to
00:10:08.320 –> 00:10:11.720
think about well you may you may say you
00:10:11.720 –> 00:10:13.600
also choose you may have said you may
00:10:13.600 –> 00:10:15.120
have enough water say hey I don’t need
00:10:15.120 –> 00:10:16.640
to run the water I can just you know I
00:10:16.640 –> 00:10:17.920
got I got a couple hundred gallons of
00:10:17.920 –> 00:10:20.280
water stored you know the situation we
00:10:20.280 –> 00:10:22.200
lose power will still have water because
00:10:22.200 –> 00:10:23.360
I have hundreds of gallons of that’s
00:10:23.360 –> 00:10:24.400
fine if that’s what you’re comfortable
00:10:24.400 –> 00:10:26.920
with that’s kind of the plan that I went
00:10:26.920 –> 00:10:28.320
with I don’t have a generic generator
00:10:28.320 –> 00:10:31.220
but what I do have a lot of water on tap
00:10:31.220 –> 00:10:32.500
and then we just use the portable
00:10:32.500 –> 00:10:34.240
generator to pass power things that we
00:10:34.240 –> 00:10:36.620
need to keep going so it’s very
00:10:36.620 –> 00:10:38.160
important when you’re dealing with a
00:10:38.160 –> 00:10:40.320
generator to cut it to kind of plan out
00:10:40.320 –> 00:10:43.040
what the plan is with it as you go along
00:10:43.040 –> 00:10:44.480
so very important remember to think
00:10:44.480 –> 00:10:45.720
about those things when you’re planning
00:10:45.720 –> 00:10:48.200
your generator so a couple other things
00:10:48.200 –> 00:10:50.320
folks I do want to talk about as well
00:10:50.320 –> 00:10:52.120
what the port was enter is like I said
00:10:52.120 –> 00:10:52.880
it’s going to come in there’s gonna be
00:10:52.880 –> 00:10:55.080
transfer switch now when you lose power
00:10:55.080 –> 00:10:59.000
okay it will automatically okay it’ll
00:10:59.000 –> 00:11:00.740
kick off okay the you know that your
00:11:00.740 –> 00:11:02.320
your main feed will kick off the transfer
00:11:02.320 –> 00:11:03.960
switch will transfer it over to generator
00:11:03.960 –> 00:11:06.240
and then you you will be able to run
00:11:06.240 –> 00:11:08.160
predominantly your entire house if you
00:11:08.160 –> 00:11:09.400
get the you know bigger than what you
00:11:09.400 –> 00:11:12.680
need it will just be like your you know
00:11:12.680 –> 00:11:15.260
like like you never lost power so those
00:11:15.260 –> 00:11:17.440
are very nice you have somebody come
00:11:17.440 –> 00:11:19.360
professionally install it I recommend
00:11:19.360 –> 00:11:21.880
that and most of that you buy from them
00:11:21.880 –> 00:11:23.080
some places actually have free install
00:11:23.080 –> 00:11:25.480
just so you know you know for future
00:11:25.480 –> 00:11:26.840
reference some places do actually offer
00:11:26.840 –> 00:11:29.800
free install as part of the purchase and
00:11:29.800 –> 00:11:31.080
shop around folks you’re gonna have to go
00:11:31.080 –> 00:11:32.780
to generate there are other names off
00:11:32.780 –> 00:11:34.780
names that you can go with that are much
00:11:34.780 –> 00:11:37.320
cheaper I’m not saying to do that but
00:11:37.320 –> 00:11:38.680
it’s an option you could definitely go
00:11:38.680 –> 00:11:41.920
with if you needed to some other things
00:11:41.920 –> 00:11:45.740
as well is you may want to take the time
00:11:45.740 –> 00:11:47.700
when you’re looking at your backup
00:11:47.700 –> 00:11:49.320
generator go on Amazon and say hey I’m
00:11:49.320 –> 00:11:50.740
gonna buy this model is much cheaper
00:11:50.740 –> 00:11:55.380
take the time and just go ahead and you
00:11:55.380 –> 00:11:56.720
know check out some reviews and stuff
00:11:56.720 –> 00:11:58.000
like that make sure you always do your
00:11:58.000 –> 00:11:59.240
homework before you buy any large
00:11:59.240 –> 00:12:02.400
purchase like that some other things
00:12:02.400 –> 00:12:04.400
there’s some other things folks as well
00:12:04.400 –> 00:12:06.360
talking about the generator now let’s
00:12:06.360 –> 00:12:08.160
talk about portable generator that’s what
00:12:08.160 –> 00:12:09.400
that’s what a majority I believe what
00:12:09.400 –> 00:12:11.120
people have I know some people that have
00:12:11.120 –> 00:12:12.800
generics but the majority of people like
00:12:12.800 –> 00:12:14.920
me and probably you and some other
00:12:14.920 –> 00:12:17.800
people listening probably have you know
00:12:17.800 –> 00:12:19.120
portable generators. Portable generator is a little
00:12:19.120 –> 00:12:21.360
different okay now portable generator is
00:12:21.360 –> 00:12:24.840
going to be ran usually by fuel now the
00:12:24.840 –> 00:12:26.800
ones the ones that the generics ones
00:12:26.800 –> 00:12:28.720
generally run by propane or natural gas
00:12:28.720 –> 00:12:31.120
okay now the only thing about that is
00:12:31.120 –> 00:12:32.920
and I warned you about by the way the
00:12:32.920 –> 00:12:34.840
generics if you’re running them by
00:12:34.840 –> 00:12:37.160
especially natural gas if you lose your
00:12:37.160 –> 00:12:38.960
gas lines in your town you doesn’t matter
00:12:38.960 –> 00:12:40.680
what kind of generators you have if you
00:12:40.680 –> 00:12:42.280
lose gas you want to you know won’t be
00:12:42.280 –> 00:12:45.160
able to run it at all so I really don’t
00:12:45.160 –> 00:12:46.560
like the ones that I’m running on natural
00:12:46.560 –> 00:12:48.280
gas they run on the local city gas and
00:12:48.280 –> 00:12:50.240
the city gas farm you don’t have any gas
00:12:50.240 –> 00:12:52.560
so it I don’t know not a big fan of
00:12:52.560 –> 00:12:56.760
those again everybody to their own as
00:12:56.760 –> 00:12:58.680
far as what they decide to pick I
00:12:58.680 –> 00:13:00.360
personally prefer the portable generator
00:13:00.360 –> 00:13:03.840
of portable generator runs by gas a
00:13:03.840 –> 00:13:07.120
little bit different you know you fill
00:13:07.120 –> 00:13:09.800
the gas up with it you know don’t fill
00:13:09.800 –> 00:13:10.960
it up I was all the way to fill it up with
00:13:10.960 –> 00:13:12.960
gas you run it you put it has some
00:13:12.960 –> 00:13:14.640
outlets on it and you plug in whatever
00:13:14.640 –> 00:13:17.560
you need now the nice part about this is
00:13:17.560 –> 00:13:19.520
you run a couple extension cords in the
00:13:19.520 –> 00:13:22.120
house you go on the TV you can run you
00:13:22.120 –> 00:13:23.520
know anything and you charge your cell
00:13:23.520 –> 00:13:26.280
phones you can do all that so not as
00:13:26.280 –> 00:13:29.480
convenient as the generac but they’ll
00:13:29.480 –> 00:13:31.160
serve its purpose now the one thing
00:13:31.160 –> 00:13:32.480
about that is though you’re using a
00:13:32.480 –> 00:13:34.000
portable generator you do should
00:13:34.000 –> 00:13:35.400
honestly folks make sure that you have
00:13:35.400 –> 00:13:40.520
enough fuel on tap that gas if you’re
00:13:40.520 –> 00:13:41.760
running that thing for four or five
00:13:41.760 –> 00:13:43.360
hours a night you’ll be surprised how much
00:13:43.360 –> 00:13:45.480
fuel you will go through in a very very
00:13:45.480 –> 00:13:47.200
short amount of time so it’s very
00:13:47.200 –> 00:13:48.360
important folks to go ahead and make
00:13:48.360 –> 00:13:49.520
sure you have enough fuel on tap if
00:13:49.520 –> 00:13:51.840
that’s the option you’re going to go
00:13:51.840 –> 00:13:53.760
another thing folks you’re going to have
00:13:53.760 –> 00:13:54.560
to remember to you’re gonna need
00:13:54.560 –> 00:13:55.880
extension cords you have to understand
00:13:55.880 –> 00:13:57.680
the extension cords in the house the
00:13:57.680 –> 00:14:00.400
portable generator you cannot run it in
00:14:00.400 –> 00:14:01.760
the house you cannot run in the basement
00:14:01.760 –> 00:14:03.720
you cannot run it anywhere where it’s
00:14:03.720 –> 00:14:06.480
not vented god forbid carbon dioxide
00:14:06.480 –> 00:14:08.480
you don’t want to do that so go ahead
00:14:08.480 –> 00:14:11.480
and take that time now there are solar
00:14:11.480 –> 00:14:13.960
generators that run via solar power I
00:14:13.960 –> 00:14:16.640
have read that they are good I have read
00:14:16.640 –> 00:14:17.840
a lot of my couple my friends have and
00:14:17.840 –> 00:14:19.360
they said they run good I don’t promise
00:14:19.360 –> 00:14:21.280
they said they don’t have the power they
00:14:21.280 –> 00:14:22.960
don’t they can’t draw as much power as
00:14:22.960 –> 00:14:25.600
if they’re running the the gas powered
00:14:25.600 –> 00:14:26.960
one so I mean but that’s an option
00:14:26.960 –> 00:14:29.240
though you may want if you have you know
00:14:29.240 –> 00:14:31.480
you know some people run two generators
00:14:31.480 –> 00:14:33.680
because they run the solar one for just
00:14:33.680 –> 00:14:36.040
you know to keep them running you know
00:14:36.040 –> 00:14:37.360
here and there the little things and
00:14:37.360 –> 00:14:38.600
then they use the big one they do other
00:14:38.600 –> 00:14:41.400
stuff now the only problem with the
00:14:41.400 –> 00:14:43.600
portable generator is again you’re going
00:14:43.600 –> 00:14:47.520
to need a transfer switch and you’re
00:14:47.520 –> 00:14:49.000
going to manually so you have to you know
00:14:49.000 –> 00:14:51.040
you can now you can do the generator
00:14:51.040 –> 00:14:53.000
with just being you know just extension
00:14:53.000 –> 00:14:54.000
cords like I was just talking about or
00:14:54.000 –> 00:14:55.320
you can feed your whole house with it
00:14:55.320 –> 00:14:56.600
you can’t beat your whole house little
00:14:56.600 –> 00:14:57.720
purple generator folks you just need a
00:14:57.720 –> 00:15:00.520
transfer switch so what you do is you
00:15:00.520 –> 00:15:03.280
plug the generator in to the transfer
00:15:03.280 –> 00:15:05.760
switch you go turn your main breaker off
00:15:05.760 –> 00:15:08.080
and then you’d fire up the generator and
00:15:08.080 –> 00:15:09.400
then you flip the transfer switch and
00:15:09.400 –> 00:15:11.680
you fire up the generator and that would
00:15:11.680 –> 00:15:13.200
run outside that’s a portal generators
00:15:13.200 –> 00:15:15.200
that goes back in your garage or you
00:15:15.200 –> 00:15:16.600
know in your carport or whatever when
00:15:16.600 –> 00:15:19.280
you’re done with it so you’re gonna have
00:15:19.280 –> 00:15:20.600
to manually drag it out you’re gonna
00:15:20.600 –> 00:15:21.680
have to manually hook it up you can have
00:15:21.680 –> 00:15:23.560
to manually fill the gas generac’s a lot
00:15:23.560 –> 00:15:25.920
less work I recommend the generac for
00:15:25.920 –> 00:15:27.440
those of you that aren’t very technical
00:15:27.440 –> 00:15:30.120
savvy or if you have older people who
00:15:30.120 –> 00:15:32.080
really you know physically can’t go
00:15:32.080 –> 00:15:33.480
outside and be dragging around
00:15:33.480 –> 00:15:35.520
generators I really recommend that for
00:15:35.520 –> 00:15:37.760
that but if you can this is going to be
00:15:37.760 –> 00:15:39.080
your cheaper way to do it as portable
00:15:39.080 –> 00:15:41.000
generator now again you’re going to have
00:15:41.000 –> 00:15:42.200
to get somebody out to see how many how
00:15:42.200 –> 00:15:45.280
much you want normally 775 you know
00:15:45.280 –> 00:15:48.100
7,000 8,000 will usually run a whole
00:15:48.100 –> 00:15:51.160
home usually again I’m not a electrician
00:15:51.160 –> 00:15:52.520
but I can tell you that’s what I’ve been
00:15:52.520 –> 00:15:54.840
told that’s what I I use I use about a
00:15:54.840 –> 00:15:59.720
7,700 I think which works fairly well
00:15:59.720 –> 00:16:04.600
for for me so go ahead folks and like I
00:16:04.600 –> 00:16:06.880
said take a look at you know what you’re
00:16:06.880 –> 00:16:10.360
doing and how much fuel how much fuel
00:16:10.360 –> 00:16:12.320
you have and all like you are going to
00:16:12.320 –> 00:16:15.040
have you know days where you’re going to
00:16:15.040 –> 00:16:18.520
have to you know you know really
00:16:18.520 –> 00:16:20.120
conserve now the other thing to generacs
00:16:20.120 –> 00:16:22.120
can run for you know night and day for a
00:16:22.120 –> 00:16:25.400
while with the portables you know you’re
00:16:25.400 –> 00:16:26.840
going to let stop and cool off for a
00:16:26.840 –> 00:16:28.680
while you can’t run a 24/7 non-stop just
00:16:28.680 –> 00:16:29.720
doesn’t work that way you can run it
00:16:29.720 –> 00:16:32.280
quite a bit but not as much as you can
00:16:32.280 –> 00:16:33.760
the generac they’re really built for
00:16:33.760 –> 00:16:35.920
that kind of thing and the other thing
00:16:35.920 –> 00:16:37.040
to you folks you’re going to have to
00:16:37.040 –> 00:16:39.280
you’re going to have to remember with
00:16:39.280 –> 00:16:40.840
the portable generator as well as you
00:16:40.840 –> 00:16:42.560
went after maintenance now the generac
00:16:42.560 –> 00:16:44.920
will generally kick itself on once a
00:16:44.920 –> 00:16:47.440
week and will run for about maybe 20
00:16:47.440 –> 00:16:50.920
minutes or so you know keep itself going
00:16:50.920 –> 00:16:54.520
with the you know what they were the
00:16:54.520 –> 00:16:55.800
portable you’re going to make sure that
00:16:55.800 –> 00:16:57.480
the support you know that serviced and
00:16:57.480 –> 00:16:59.600
then you run you fire it up once once
00:16:59.600 –> 00:17:01.280
every couple of weeks and to make sure
00:17:01.280 –> 00:17:02.400
it’s going because nothing works on a
00:17:02.400 –> 00:17:03.400
generator that doesn’t work when you
00:17:03.400 –> 00:17:05.880
have a natural disaster so make sure you
00:17:05.880 –> 00:17:07.400
go ahead and make sure it works if you
00:17:07.400 –> 00:17:08.800
do keep in your garage and hardly ever
00:17:08.800 –> 00:17:12.760
use it folks make sure that before you
00:17:12.760 –> 00:17:14.440
uh you know if you know there’s going to
00:17:14.440 –> 00:17:15.640
be a hurricane coming you know it’s
00:17:15.640 –> 00:17:17.320
going to be some sort of hailstorm
00:17:17.320 –> 00:17:18.360
something they should go out to spire
00:17:18.360 –> 00:17:19.880
that bad boy up in a well ventilated
00:17:19.880 –> 00:17:23.560
area for maybe five ten minutes okay and
00:17:23.560 –> 00:17:26.040
make sure that it’s running you know
00:17:26.040 –> 00:17:27.320
just what you make sure it works when
00:17:27.320 –> 00:17:28.280
you when you really need it because
00:17:28.280 –> 00:17:29.600
there’s nothing like I said something
00:17:29.600 –> 00:17:30.600
worse than a generator that doesn’t work
00:17:30.600 –> 00:17:33.680
especially when you need it to run so
00:17:33.680 –> 00:17:35.600
some other things folks you’re going to
00:17:35.600 –> 00:17:38.600
need to do as well with the generators
00:17:38.600 –> 00:17:40.440
like I said you’re going to forget if
00:17:40.440 –> 00:17:44.040
you’ll make sure that they it is off and
00:17:44.040 –> 00:17:46.120
cool when you fill it you don’t want to
00:17:46.120 –> 00:17:49.320
fire that would be disastrous so make
00:17:49.320 –> 00:17:51.240
sure that you you know take care of that
00:17:51.240 –> 00:17:53.560
make sure it’s cool and you know make
00:17:53.560 –> 00:17:54.920
sure you know you fill it up when
00:17:54.920 –> 00:17:56.280
everything’s nice and cold and that you
00:17:56.280 –> 00:17:57.960
know you use a funnel and all that make
00:17:57.960 –> 00:18:00.280
sure you don’t get a a mess and cause a
00:18:00.280 –> 00:18:04.360
fire very very very important couple
00:18:04.360 –> 00:18:05.240
things to like I said make sure it’s
00:18:05.240 –> 00:18:07.640
well-vented when you’re using it very
00:18:07.640 –> 00:18:10.120
important there and like I said folks
00:18:10.120 –> 00:18:11.560
always make sure you have enough gas on
00:18:11.560 –> 00:18:14.200
tap because you know you will be going
00:18:14.200 –> 00:18:15.320
with the fuel like I said my
00:18:15.320 –> 00:18:16.760
recommendation is like I said use it a
00:18:16.760 –> 00:18:18.680
couple hours a night charge your phones
00:18:18.680 –> 00:18:21.000
maybe watch a little TV and then zonk out
00:18:21.000 –> 00:18:22.640
try not to you know during the day you
00:18:22.640 –> 00:18:24.520
don’t really need the lights running so
00:18:24.520 –> 00:18:25.600
you can you know you can kind of do
00:18:25.600 –> 00:18:28.280
without it you know during the day you
00:18:28.280 –> 00:18:29.960
know people say well I want to watch TV
00:18:29.960 –> 00:18:32.080
during the day well you know what’s more
00:18:32.080 –> 00:18:34.280
important yeah that’s one thing you got
00:18:34.280 –> 00:18:36.240
to think about the only building bad
00:18:36.240 –> 00:18:38.280
that stinks about the the boardable is
00:18:38.280 –> 00:18:40.000
unless you hook it up to your house if
00:18:40.000 –> 00:18:40.960
you’re going to run it just on a
00:18:40.960 –> 00:18:42.040
touch course so you’re not gonna be able
00:18:42.040 –> 00:18:45.120
to use your if you have an electric
00:18:45.120 –> 00:18:47.720
stove or an electric oven you’re not
00:18:47.720 –> 00:18:48.720
going to be able to use it so that’s
00:18:48.720 –> 00:18:50.320
something that kind of thinks about that
00:18:50.320 –> 00:18:53.520
but if you have a gas stove gas oven you
00:18:53.520 –> 00:18:54.560
don’t need to worry about it you have
00:18:54.560 –> 00:18:56.480
plenty of gas and that’s the two I always
00:18:56.480 –> 00:18:57.320
recommend folks if you’re going to
00:18:57.320 –> 00:18:58.360
actually go ahead and you know you’re
00:18:58.360 –> 00:18:59.240
just actually gonna be running a
00:18:59.240 –> 00:19:00.800
generator fuel and you do have a gas
00:19:00.800 –> 00:19:02.720
make sure you know you have carbon
00:19:02.720 –> 00:19:04.240
oxide detector and all that kind of
00:19:04.240 –> 00:19:05.560
stuff very important safety first
00:19:05.560 –> 00:19:08.160
obviously they run on battery and also
00:19:08.160 –> 00:19:09.520
as you folks if you are going to be
00:19:09.520 –> 00:19:12.000
using your stove and then if you have
00:19:12.000 –> 00:19:13.640
disaster you might want to call your
00:19:13.640 –> 00:19:14.920
gas company just say hey can you make
00:19:14.920 –> 00:19:16.800
sure I’m topped off just to make sure
00:19:16.800 –> 00:19:18.320
you have more than enough fuel because
00:19:18.320 –> 00:19:19.720
you don’t have the right you know any
00:19:19.720 –> 00:19:23.680
fuel you could be in a rather difficult
00:19:23.680 –> 00:19:25.360
situation so make sure they top you off
00:19:25.360 –> 00:19:27.960
very very important with that again with
00:19:27.960 –> 00:19:30.280
gas again with the generators the solar
00:19:30.280 –> 00:19:31.840
ones those are a little different now
00:19:31.840 –> 00:19:34.800
those will those generate electric but
00:19:34.800 –> 00:19:36.560
they’re running off solar power so they
00:19:36.560 –> 00:19:39.400
want the Sun the moon all that now those
00:19:39.400 –> 00:19:41.480
I believe you can keep on but they don’t
00:19:41.480 –> 00:19:42.960
they won’t I don’t think they’ll run
00:19:42.960 –> 00:19:45.720
your whole house but you can use those
00:19:45.720 –> 00:19:49.840
and out with you know to charge your
00:19:49.840 –> 00:19:51.680
cell phones to run maybe some small
00:19:51.680 –> 00:19:53.560
things a lamp your television of that
00:19:53.560 –> 00:19:54.400
but I don’t think they give the
00:19:54.400 –> 00:19:56.560
horsepower out enough to run certain
00:19:56.560 –> 00:19:59.240
things or if they do you know I don’t
00:19:59.240 –> 00:20:00.600
know that’ll be enough so that’s
00:20:00.600 –> 00:20:03.000
something I strongly recommend the solar
00:20:03.000 –> 00:20:04.760
generators don’t run on gas so they can
00:20:04.760 –> 00:20:06.560
you know run obviously much longer but I
00:20:06.560 –> 00:20:08.200
don’t want to think I’m not mistaken I
00:20:08.200 –> 00:20:11.120
think some of the run on 3,000 I think
00:20:11.120 –> 00:20:12.240
three that I think they only come like
00:20:12.240 –> 00:20:15.000
3,000 watts which really isn’t a lot but
00:20:15.000 –> 00:20:17.480
again it may be a supplemental for you
00:20:17.480 –> 00:20:18.880
especially if you’re in a situation
00:20:18.880 –> 00:20:21.280
where fuel is at a premium if you have
00:20:21.280 –> 00:20:23.560
two of them you can run the gas one when
00:20:23.560 –> 00:20:25.200
you get one of the microwave or you know
00:20:25.200 –> 00:20:27.040
microwave and some of your heavier
00:20:27.040 –> 00:20:29.080
appliances and you can use a solar one
00:20:29.080 –> 00:20:30.800
for your TV some of that so split the
00:20:30.800 –> 00:20:32.960
load between the two of them you know
00:20:32.960 –> 00:20:34.440
that might be an option for you as well
00:20:34.440 –> 00:20:36.000
and somebody’s gonna give it to you for
00:20:36.000 –> 00:20:37.680
free we’re gonna say don’t don’t say no
00:20:37.680 –> 00:20:39.680
take it never can you can never have a
00:20:39.680 –> 00:20:42.880
back enough backup for your backup like
00:20:42.880 –> 00:20:44.200
I said folks whatever you never want to
00:20:44.200 –> 00:20:45.440
overload generator because you can burn
00:20:45.440 –> 00:20:47.480
it out and cause a fire and then you’ll
00:20:47.480 –> 00:20:49.040
be or you can have you know burn the
00:20:49.040 –> 00:20:51.600
there’s lots of fuses on the tube burning
00:20:51.600 –> 00:20:53.120
you can burn the fuse out I don’t think
00:20:53.120 –> 00:20:54.440
I recommend to folks if you’re going to
00:20:54.440 –> 00:20:56.800
have a generator and you know make sure
00:20:56.800 –> 00:20:58.680
you have a spare part spark plug for it
00:20:58.680 –> 00:21:01.320
make sure you have you know some spare
00:21:01.320 –> 00:21:03.600
fuses for it and all that make sure you
00:21:03.600 –> 00:21:04.880
you know make sure you have the spare
00:21:04.880 –> 00:21:07.400
stuff for it that stuff’s cheap enough to
00:21:07.400 –> 00:21:09.680
keep on tap the spark plugs probably can
00:21:09.680 –> 00:21:11.760
be three or four dollars and the fuse
00:21:11.760 –> 00:21:13.400
probably a buck or two so keep those
00:21:13.400 –> 00:21:15.120
things that because you know especially
00:21:15.120 –> 00:21:16.720
if you’re in a situation where you run
00:21:16.720 –> 00:21:18.360
on the generator and I’m talking just
00:21:18.360 –> 00:21:19.640
like you know the world’s coming to an
00:21:19.640 –> 00:21:20.800
end disaster I’m talking about say you
00:21:20.800 –> 00:21:22.360
need that generator and say at eight
00:21:22.360 –> 00:21:23.800
o’clock at night also the spark plugs
00:21:23.800 –> 00:21:26.160
just pops on it and it’s not sparking a
00:21:26.160 –> 00:21:28.560
fuel you know it’s easy enough to swap
00:21:28.560 –> 00:21:30.160
it out real quick and rather than wait
00:21:30.160 –> 00:21:31.880
until the next day to get somebody out
00:21:31.880 –> 00:21:33.920
there or to actually try to run to an
00:21:33.920 –> 00:21:36.360
auto parts store and try to find one
00:21:36.360 –> 00:21:37.760
that you know especially if you have a
00:21:37.760 –> 00:21:39.600
lot of the big disasters a lot of stuff
00:21:39.600 –> 00:21:42.040
going on I remember myself folks and I’m
00:21:42.040 –> 00:21:43.760
guilty of this as well I dreamed the one
00:21:43.760 –> 00:21:45.240
hurricane we had I was running my
00:21:45.240 –> 00:21:47.480
generator and the spark plug went and I
00:21:47.480 –> 00:21:49.160
went over I had to go three auto parts
00:21:49.160 –> 00:21:50.440
stores before I found somebody had the
00:21:50.440 –> 00:21:53.400
right few right right spark plug not
00:21:53.400 –> 00:21:57.320
because not because they didn’t carry
00:21:57.320 –> 00:21:58.560
them but because you know they only
00:21:58.560 –> 00:22:01.000
carry so many in stock and I guess my
00:22:01.000 –> 00:22:02.560
generator is a pretty popular generator
00:22:02.560 –> 00:22:05.680
and a lot of people were buying it
00:22:05.680 –> 00:22:06.880
because theirs was having the same
00:22:06.880 –> 00:22:08.840
problem I was so you can’t plan for
00:22:08.840 –> 00:22:09.840
something that but you can try to be
00:22:09.840 –> 00:22:11.860
prepared for it so go ahead and also
00:22:11.860 –> 00:22:12.720
two books if you’re going to be
00:22:12.720 –> 00:22:14.860
traveling you know try to bring that
00:22:14.860 –> 00:22:16.640
that that spare stuff with you just in
00:22:16.640 –> 00:22:17.960
case there isn’t an auto parts store
00:22:17.960 –> 00:22:20.560
available you know close to you so very
00:22:20.560 –> 00:22:23.040
important there I guess that folks
00:22:23.040 –> 00:22:24.920
always make sure service is a big thing
00:22:24.920 –> 00:22:26.740
with those things so make sure if you’re
00:22:26.740 –> 00:22:27.820
going if you have a generac it’s
00:22:27.820 –> 00:22:29.920
probably gonna do it itself but if you
00:22:29.920 –> 00:22:32.080
have one that’s just a little portable
00:22:32.080 –> 00:22:33.600
one you may need to take that out and
00:22:33.600 –> 00:22:35.040
fire it up every so often just to make
00:22:35.040 –> 00:22:38.120
sure it stays you know good and clean
00:22:38.120 –> 00:22:39.320
again always be sure they’re vented
00:22:39.320 –> 00:22:41.480
properly as you can get carbon monoxide
00:22:41.480 –> 00:22:42.760
poisoning it’s just like running a car
00:22:42.760 –> 00:22:45.380
in a house you can actually get carbon
00:22:45.380 –> 00:22:47.840
monoxide poisoning from that I don’t
00:22:47.840 –> 00:22:49.260
think folks to talk about transfer
00:22:49.260 –> 00:22:51.380
switches I don’t think I saw it on all
00:22:51.380 –> 00:22:52.600
reports for the day that could be handy
00:22:52.600 –> 00:22:54.780
for you you could actually and I’m not
00:22:54.780 –> 00:22:56.780
sure you know I’m not sure this is your
00:22:56.780 –> 00:23:01.220
best idea but they do have as a backup
00:23:01.220 –> 00:23:03.280
transfer switches that you can actually
00:23:03.280 –> 00:23:06.500
hook up to the car and your car and you
00:23:06.500 –> 00:23:08.960
can actually run your car as like you’re
00:23:08.960 –> 00:23:12.080
running a generator and hook things up to
00:23:12.080 –> 00:23:13.840
it with extension cords over that and
00:23:13.840 –> 00:23:14.960
run it now is that your best idea
00:23:14.960 –> 00:23:16.240
probably not your pressure of a
00:23:16.240 –> 00:23:19.000
generator but if you had to you could
00:23:19.000 –> 00:23:21.720
use it as electricity obviously your car
00:23:21.720 –> 00:23:24.160
needs gas obviously so I wouldn’t not
00:23:24.160 –> 00:23:26.400
think your best idea but in a pinch it
00:23:26.400 –> 00:23:28.800
is an option and the other thing too was
00:23:28.800 –> 00:23:29.760
they do want to mention about the
00:23:29.760 –> 00:23:31.520
generators and it’s something I really
00:23:31.520 –> 00:23:35.080
have noticed over the years try to make
00:23:35.080 –> 00:23:39.200
sure you buy the generator now you know
00:23:39.200 –> 00:23:41.000
today you know if you’re having a nice
00:23:41.000 –> 00:23:43.360
day’s nice weather outside and you know
00:23:43.360 –> 00:23:46.720
all that try to buy the generator now or
00:23:46.720 –> 00:23:48.840
as soon as possible don’t wait to the
00:23:48.840 –> 00:23:50.400
day before hurricanes rolling through or
00:23:50.400 –> 00:23:51.920
don’t wait the day before hailstorms
00:23:51.920 –> 00:23:54.520
coming through try to buy it now because
00:23:54.520 –> 00:23:56.240
one I can tell you one thing go to Home
00:23:56.240 –> 00:23:59.320
Depot and try to buy a generator today
00:23:59.320 –> 00:24:03.080
for storm watch what you pay okay try to
00:24:03.080 –> 00:24:05.880
buy it now okay go on Amazon try to buy
00:24:05.880 –> 00:24:08.080
one a couple weeks before a week or so
00:24:08.080 –> 00:24:09.840
before hurricanes will hit Florida and
00:24:09.840 –> 00:24:11.120
watch how many of them are out of stock
00:24:11.120 –> 00:24:14.760
okay very very important try to be try
00:24:14.760 –> 00:24:17.000
to try to be prepared before everybody
00:24:17.000 –> 00:24:19.520
else is getting prepared okay again it’s
00:24:19.520 –> 00:24:20.640
living life better for being more
00:24:20.640 –> 00:24:22.920
prepared that’s our slogan here so try
00:24:22.920 –> 00:24:24.680
to go ahead and and you know get that
00:24:24.680 –> 00:24:26.480
generator ahead of time before you have
00:24:26.480 –> 00:24:29.040
the major disaster because you can go to
00:24:29.040 –> 00:24:31.160
Home Depot and buy one but you will be
00:24:31.160 –> 00:24:33.400
paying a premium for it you can go to
00:24:33.400 –> 00:24:34.560
Lowe’s and buy one but you’re going to
00:24:34.560 –> 00:24:36.520
pay a premium for it and you go to local
00:24:36.520 –> 00:24:37.680
hardware store you definitely have a
00:24:37.680 –> 00:24:40.000
good price only two books if you decide
00:24:40.000 –> 00:24:41.680
that you do want to go to generac and
00:24:41.680 –> 00:24:43.480
you know it’s a week or two before a
00:24:43.480 –> 00:24:46.520
storm a big storm or a big hurricane you
00:24:46.520 –> 00:24:47.800
may not be able to get somebody that’s
00:24:47.800 –> 00:24:49.160
available in time to come and install it
00:24:49.160 –> 00:24:51.160
for you you know those things those
00:24:51.160 –> 00:24:53.440
generacs now generally a two or even
00:24:53.440 –> 00:24:58.000
three days of install so make sure you
00:24:58.000 –> 00:25:00.840
take the time to sit back and say hey
00:25:00.840 –> 00:25:03.760
you know we’re going to need this you
00:25:03.760 –> 00:25:05.160
know probably forget we get this big
00:25:05.160 –> 00:25:07.280
storm we may wanna if we get a big storm
00:25:07.280 –> 00:25:08.520
you know and the other thing folks you
00:25:08.520 –> 00:25:09.960
know you’re a you can prepare if you
00:25:09.960 –> 00:25:11.880
know that you know this time you know
00:25:11.880 –> 00:25:14.200
coming up shortly is going to be you
00:25:14.200 –> 00:25:15.960
know hurricane season for your tornado
00:25:15.960 –> 00:25:17.680
season for you and you can be that power
00:25:17.680 –> 00:25:19.400
you may want to say hey you know we
00:25:19.400 –> 00:25:20.320
really should think about doing this
00:25:20.320 –> 00:25:22.400
within the next month or two before the
00:25:22.400 –> 00:25:24.240
storms has start really hitting hard so
00:25:24.240 –> 00:25:26.680
that we have it so you know your area
00:25:26.680 –> 00:25:29.120
you know when up here is mostly we
00:25:29.120 –> 00:25:31.880
mostly get hurricanes and snow we do the
00:25:31.880 –> 00:25:33.080
tornadoes every once in a while but
00:25:33.080 –> 00:25:35.440
we’ve been very fortunate we don’t get
00:25:35.440 –> 00:25:37.120
nearly as many as the state of Nebraska
00:25:37.120 –> 00:25:39.000
or something that we’ll get which you
00:25:39.000 –> 00:25:40.600
know those guys down there a little more
00:25:40.600 –> 00:25:43.040
prone with than we are but but we do get
00:25:43.040 –> 00:25:44.440
them don’t get wrong we do have our
00:25:44.440 –> 00:25:46.880
share of tornadoes up here we definitely
00:25:46.880 –> 00:25:48.040
do get our share of hurricanes up here
00:25:48.040 –> 00:25:50.200
off the east coast and all that but we
00:25:50.200 –> 00:25:52.480
generally you know generally this time of
00:25:52.480 –> 00:25:56.440
year isn’t really that bad for us but
00:25:56.440 –> 00:25:57.920
once we still get into the summer months
00:25:57.920 –> 00:25:59.520
we will still get some pretty bad
00:25:59.520 –> 00:26:02.320
thunderstorms and hurricanes on that
00:26:02.320 –> 00:26:04.520
here in the mountains so like I said if
00:26:04.520 –> 00:26:06.040
you’re in the mountains of Pennsylvania
00:26:06.040 –> 00:26:07.240
or if you’re in an area where you know
00:26:07.240 –> 00:26:08.960
you know your weather patterns in those
00:26:08.960 –> 00:26:10.680
areas you may want to look at maybe
00:26:10.680 –> 00:26:13.080
saying hey we know you know August is a
00:26:13.080 –> 00:26:14.400
tough month maybe we start getting look
00:26:14.400 –> 00:26:15.760
at this getting this installed in June
00:26:15.760 –> 00:26:17.240
so that’s something that’s very
00:26:17.240 –> 00:26:18.400
important you really need to know your
00:26:18.400 –> 00:26:19.880
area and you really need to start
00:26:19.880 –> 00:26:21.360
planning on okay when is the storms
00:26:21.360 –> 00:26:23.800
going to come and when should we put
00:26:23.800 –> 00:26:26.000
this in our only folks I one thing that
00:26:26.000 –> 00:26:28.000
is kind of an interesting thing is
00:26:28.000 –> 00:26:30.320
especially around the especially around
00:26:30.320 –> 00:26:35.840
um or ever since a brown general I want
00:26:35.840 –> 00:26:39.320
to say generac specifically I know will
00:26:39.320 –> 00:26:42.840
finance it for you so that’s something
00:26:42.840 –> 00:26:44.160
you should do anything about think about
00:26:44.160 –> 00:26:45.280
you if you’re gonna think about finance
00:26:45.280 –> 00:26:46.360
think about how you’re gonna pay for it
00:26:46.360 –> 00:26:48.440
I do want to bring that up folks as well
00:26:48.440 –> 00:26:49.720
because I know companies like generac
00:26:49.720 –> 00:26:51.720
will finance the generator for you I
00:26:51.720 –> 00:26:53.640
believe they hold it for like a year or
00:26:53.640 –> 00:26:55.880
two you can pay it off which a lot of
00:26:55.880 –> 00:26:57.480
you say oh that’s debt I don’t want to
00:26:57.480 –> 00:27:00.600
pay debt you know I don’t particularly
00:27:00.600 –> 00:27:02.200
like paying I don’t really think credit
00:27:02.200 –> 00:27:05.080
card debt is a good thing either to have
00:27:05.080 –> 00:27:08.680
but okay it’s you know I rather
00:27:08.680 –> 00:27:10.200
especially if somebody has a medical
00:27:10.200 –> 00:27:12.680
need they really need to to run their
00:27:12.680 –> 00:27:15.080
you know their houses machines or or you
00:27:15.080 –> 00:27:16.480
know any type of treatment or anything
00:27:16.480 –> 00:27:17.240
like that that are going to need
00:27:17.240 –> 00:27:19.500
electric for you may want to make sure
00:27:19.500 –> 00:27:21.680
they have it so you may want to look at
00:27:21.680 –> 00:27:23.000
maybe saying well maybe I should bite
00:27:23.000 –> 00:27:24.160
the bullet and pay the two or three
00:27:24.160 –> 00:27:27.160
percent on other option books too as far
00:27:27.160 –> 00:27:29.760
as financing goes companies like Home
00:27:29.760 –> 00:27:30.960
Depot and some of that if you get a Home
00:27:30.960 –> 00:27:33.560
Depot card you can buy the generator in
00:27:33.560 –> 00:27:35.840
the first the first I think 12 months or
00:27:35.840 –> 00:27:38.120
interest-free so that’s something you
00:27:38.120 –> 00:27:40.320
probably think of two folks is maybe you
00:27:40.320 –> 00:27:41.800
should maybe you can go to a place by a
00:27:41.800 –> 00:27:43.000
generator and buy it on a credit card
00:27:43.000 –> 00:27:44.720
and as long as it’s interest-free folks I
00:27:44.720 –> 00:27:46.040
have no problem with debt as long as it’s
00:27:46.040 –> 00:27:49.880
interest-free so go ahead and maybe you
00:27:49.880 –> 00:27:51.960
buy it on Home Depot card interest-free
00:27:51.960 –> 00:27:53.320
and you pay for it for the next six
00:27:53.320 –> 00:27:55.040
months to a year and then you’re going
00:27:55.040 –> 00:27:57.080
to get generator interest-free basically
00:27:57.080 –> 00:27:58.680
the stores basically let you borrow the
00:27:58.680 –> 00:28:01.280
money for it so that’s an option as well
00:28:01.280 –> 00:28:03.000
you can do again I’m not a huge fan of
00:28:03.000 –> 00:28:04.840
using credit card debt but in a
00:28:04.840 –> 00:28:06.040
situation like this where you’re getting
00:28:06.040 –> 00:28:09.480
the debt interest-free why not another
00:28:09.480 –> 00:28:11.240
thing one last thing I think what well
00:28:11.240 –> 00:28:12.760
not one last thing but one thing I do
00:28:12.760 –> 00:28:16.720
want to say is as far as the generator
00:28:16.720 –> 00:28:19.720
goes like I said you’re going to have to
00:28:19.720 –> 00:28:22.600
either are other sources of alternative
00:28:22.600 –> 00:28:25.640
energy I’m only saying generators because
00:28:25.640 –> 00:28:27.440
that’s I guess the most common the most
00:28:27.440 –> 00:28:29.440
reasonable form there are other forms
00:28:29.440 –> 00:28:31.000
like solar power maybe that we’ll get
00:28:31.000 –> 00:28:33.520
into but stuff like that is going to be
00:28:33.520 –> 00:28:34.680
not something you can really set up
00:28:34.680 –> 00:28:36.480
overnight a generator is pretty pretty
00:28:36.480 –> 00:28:38.040
much you can buy one bring it home and
00:28:38.040 –> 00:28:40.720
run it that night solar power and stuff
00:28:40.720 –> 00:28:42.320
like that are going to be post solar
00:28:42.320 –> 00:28:43.880
panels things like that are going to
00:28:43.880 –> 00:28:46.080
have to get set up and you’re going to
00:28:46.080 –> 00:28:48.120
have to have you know over over rather
00:28:48.120 –> 00:28:50.120
well really some weaker so get them all
00:28:50.120 –> 00:28:51.360
set up get them on your roof and some of
00:28:51.360 –> 00:28:53.440
that so this is something you know will
00:28:53.440 –> 00:28:55.760
be your power and also do folks
00:28:55.760 –> 00:28:57.600
generation is because if you do have it
00:28:57.600 –> 00:28:59.320
you can take it with you or something
00:28:59.320 –> 00:29:01.360
you go camping and things like that if
00:29:01.360 –> 00:29:02.240
you have that’s one thing about like
00:29:02.240 –> 00:29:03.480
about the portal generator we have the
00:29:03.480 –> 00:29:07.160
portable only because and we go camping
00:29:07.160 –> 00:29:09.160
a lot will bring the generator with us
00:29:09.160 –> 00:29:11.700
and we’ll fire it up and and use it
00:29:11.700 –> 00:29:13.380
especially if we’re never going to be
00:29:13.380 –> 00:29:15.040
camping out in the woods a lot of times
00:29:15.040 –> 00:29:16.440
we will bring the generator just so we
00:29:16.440 –> 00:29:17.640
can charge our phones and stuff like
00:29:17.640 –> 00:29:19.960
that with the generac obviously it’s
00:29:19.960 –> 00:29:21.640
stationary can’t go anywhere with you so
00:29:21.640 –> 00:29:23.080
if you’re somebody that does camping
00:29:23.080 –> 00:29:24.640
is that or may think you may buy an RV
00:29:24.640 –> 00:29:27.040
or something like that or have a campsite
00:29:27.040 –> 00:29:30.080
you may want to do that the other thing
00:29:30.080 –> 00:29:31.160
too but nice about having the portal
00:29:31.160 –> 00:29:33.480
generators if you have to two homes you
00:29:33.480 –> 00:29:34.520
can transfer between one or the other
00:29:34.520 –> 00:29:36.600
you know I’m friend of mine does have a
00:29:36.600 –> 00:29:39.360
cabin and he actually one time when he
00:29:39.360 –> 00:29:41.120
was going up there he knew there was
00:29:41.120 –> 00:29:42.240
gonna you know that there might be
00:29:42.240 –> 00:29:43.680
possibly have a storm they can be no
00:29:43.680 –> 00:29:45.400
power he brought the generator with him
00:29:45.400 –> 00:29:47.720
just to make sure he had it in case they
00:29:47.720 –> 00:29:50.400
did lose power to the portables a little
00:29:50.400 –> 00:29:52.840
bit nicer like that the generac is much
00:29:52.840 –> 00:29:54.880
nicer for your you know your home for
00:29:54.880 –> 00:29:56.360
your main home anyway but the affordable
00:29:56.360 –> 00:29:57.800
is nice if you can’t afford a generac at
00:29:57.800 –> 00:30:00.120
both places it is nice to have the
00:30:00.120 –> 00:30:01.760
portable so you could bring it wherever
00:30:01.760 –> 00:30:03.800
you want to go especially if an RV or
00:30:03.800 –> 00:30:05.840
something like that it will it does a
00:30:05.840 –> 00:30:09.880
nice job and you know I really I really
00:30:09.880 –> 00:30:12.080
like I really like the generac I always
00:30:12.080 –> 00:30:14.400
have you know they’re gorgeous machines
00:30:14.400 –> 00:30:16.200
they run the whole house they’re very
00:30:16.200 –> 00:30:17.320
convenient off to do anything I don’t
00:30:17.320 –> 00:30:18.600
get dirty and it just doesn’t worry about
00:30:18.600 –> 00:30:22.040
you know and the one thing that is nice
00:30:22.040 –> 00:30:23.600
about the portable though is that I can
00:30:23.600 –> 00:30:25.560
take it with me everywhere so just like
00:30:25.560 –> 00:30:26.600
everything else that’s given takes
00:30:26.600 –> 00:30:27.920
depends over what you want to do and
00:30:27.920 –> 00:30:29.440
also you’re supposed to spend your finances
00:30:29.440 –> 00:30:31.520
big thing last thing I want to see you do
00:30:31.520 –> 00:30:33.900
is go into a major debt over that now
00:30:33.900 –> 00:30:35.800
the one thing I do want to say folks and
00:30:35.800 –> 00:30:37.320
I’m not a big fan of going to debt for a
00:30:37.320 –> 00:30:39.480
lot of things but if you do have a home
00:30:39.480 –> 00:30:41.560
equity line against your house or if you
00:30:41.560 –> 00:30:43.280
do are refinancing just do home repair
00:30:43.280 –> 00:30:44.760
you may want to look into putting the
00:30:44.760 –> 00:30:46.400
doing the generator then you’re saying
00:30:46.400 –> 00:30:47.960
well that means I’m going to take you
00:30:47.960 –> 00:30:50.000
know I’m going to have more debt right
00:30:50.000 –> 00:30:52.640
but I’m okay with debt on real property
00:30:52.640 –> 00:30:54.200
and I’ll tell you why if you put a
00:30:54.200 –> 00:30:57.720
generator on your house okay a generic
00:30:57.720 –> 00:30:58.960
generator in your house I bet you you
00:30:58.960 –> 00:30:59.920
probably just increase the value of
00:30:59.920 –> 00:31:03.360
house by 10 grand easily okay so so I
00:31:03.360 –> 00:31:05.000
mean I’m okay with with people taking
00:31:05.000 –> 00:31:06.160
money out of you know people
00:31:06.160 –> 00:31:08.600
refinancing – we haven’t talked about
00:31:08.600 –> 00:31:11.360
mortgages I think yet we will but one
00:31:11.360 –> 00:31:12.920
of the I’m okay with people taking money
00:31:12.920 –> 00:31:16.200
out of their home to do home improvements
00:31:16.200 –> 00:31:18.200
because it only increases the value the
00:31:18.200 –> 00:31:19.080
value when you when you do home
00:31:19.080 –> 00:31:20.720
improvements like that folks you’re
00:31:20.720 –> 00:31:21.880
probably a value probably never goes
00:31:21.880 –> 00:31:24.680
down it only goes up so I’m okay with
00:31:24.680 –> 00:31:26.280
that if you were going to say hey I’m
00:31:26.280 –> 00:31:27.360
taking out a home equity alone
00:31:27.360 –> 00:31:28.680
home equity alone I’m going to build
00:31:28.680 –> 00:31:30.320
myself a garage and I’m going to put a
00:31:30.320 –> 00:31:31.640
generic generator on I would say go
00:31:31.640 –> 00:31:33.840
ahead do it because by doing that little
00:31:33.840 –> 00:31:34.680
bit you’re probably going to give your
00:31:34.680 –> 00:31:36.720
house another 20 grand worth of value so
00:31:36.720 –> 00:31:39.400
something like that I’m okay with that
00:31:39.400 –> 00:31:40.980
that’s good debt because you’re
00:31:40.980 –> 00:31:42.480
improving the value of something you
00:31:42.480 –> 00:31:43.920
know your home generally for the most
00:31:43.920 –> 00:31:45.000
part as long as you buy your home right
00:31:45.000 –> 00:31:47.040
your home will always go up in price
00:31:47.040 –> 00:31:48.280
and it’ll be worth more than what you owe
00:31:48.280 –> 00:31:50.840
so I’m okay with that kind of stuff and
00:31:50.840 –> 00:31:52.720
a generator is actually a very good
00:31:52.720 –> 00:31:54.080
investment in because it will actually
00:31:54.080 –> 00:31:55.480
increase the value of a home
00:31:55.480 –> 00:31:58.320
tremendously you know my parents when
00:31:58.320 –> 00:31:59.900
they were they refinance their home they
00:31:59.900 –> 00:32:01.080
put in central heating air in the whole
00:32:01.080 –> 00:32:02.840
home and I mean they up the value of
00:32:02.840 –> 00:32:04.480
their home almost 20 grand overnight
00:32:04.480 –> 00:32:06.760
just by adding you know you know some
00:32:06.760 –> 00:32:08.280
you know just central air and heating
00:32:08.280 –> 00:32:11.000
air so I’m okay with with real debt like
00:32:11.000 –> 00:32:12.600
that because all it does is increase the
00:32:12.600 –> 00:32:14.360
value of your property and we’re gonna
00:32:14.360 –> 00:32:15.800
go talk about property value some of that
00:32:15.800 –> 00:32:17.800
I just like the other day at a friend of
00:32:17.800 –> 00:32:19.520
mine he said he didn’t want to go into
00:32:19.520 –> 00:32:21.440
more debt more debt and I said to myself
00:32:21.440 –> 00:32:22.520
what do you want to do because I want to
00:32:22.520 –> 00:32:24.140
build I’m gonna buy one of those sheds
00:32:24.140 –> 00:32:25.440
and I said well what are you complaining
00:32:25.440 –> 00:32:26.600
about for you know you’re gonna get it
00:32:26.600 –> 00:32:29.280
interest-free for 12 months you know put
00:32:29.280 –> 00:32:31.160
it on your you know pay it’s only 700
00:32:31.160 –> 00:32:32.840
bucks put it on the you know 800 bucks
00:32:32.840 –> 00:32:34.320
put it on the property pay it off over
00:32:34.320 –> 00:32:36.000
the next 12 months and by having a nice
00:32:36.000 –> 00:32:37.720
brand new shed in your property you
00:32:37.720 –> 00:32:40.480
buy up the value of five grand so I’m
00:32:40.480 –> 00:32:43.280
okay with that you know a friend of ours
00:32:43.280 –> 00:32:45.400
– they also had you know I’m talking
00:32:45.400 –> 00:32:46.440
about property values a little bit here
00:32:46.440 –> 00:32:48.200
but a friend of ours they actually took
00:32:48.200 –> 00:32:49.400
a you know how they had a home equity
00:32:49.400 –> 00:32:51.080
line against their home and they took a
00:32:51.080 –> 00:32:53.240
10 grand to buy the the six seven acres
00:32:53.240 –> 00:32:54.900
that were to the right of them and my
00:32:54.900 –> 00:32:56.000
friends like oh I just wanted the more
00:32:56.000 –> 00:32:57.880
debt and I’m like yeah but by adding that
00:32:57.880 –> 00:33:00.040
that that land you know but by buying
00:33:00.040 –> 00:33:01.600
that property next to your house you just
00:33:01.600 –> 00:33:05.180
up to value your house tremendously so
00:33:05.180 –> 00:33:06.240
what’s 10 grand if you’re gonna add
00:33:06.240 –> 00:33:07.680
another 50,000 on to the value of your
00:33:07.680 –> 00:33:09.840
house what’s another 10 grand I do know
00:33:09.840 –> 00:33:11.520
a lot about real estate folks my family
00:33:11.520 –> 00:33:12.560
has been in real estate most of their
00:33:12.560 –> 00:33:15.160
lives so I do know a lot about property
00:33:15.160 –> 00:33:16.000
balance of that we’re gonna get into
00:33:16.000 –> 00:33:18.160
mortgages different types of mortgages
00:33:18.160 –> 00:33:19.760
we’re gonna get into debt we’re gonna
00:33:19.760 –> 00:33:21.880
talk about home value we’re gonna talk
00:33:21.880 –> 00:33:23.120
about home repair we’re gonna talk about
00:33:23.120 –> 00:33:24.120
all that stuff but not in this podcast
00:33:24.120 –> 00:33:25.960
but we will talk about some of that but
00:33:25.960 –> 00:33:28.240
like I said I’m okay if you guys wanted
00:33:28.240 –> 00:33:30.280
to put a you know you guys had me hey
00:33:30.280 –> 00:33:31.280
I’m gonna take a loan against my home to
00:33:31.280 –> 00:33:33.200
put in a generac generator I would say
00:33:33.200 –> 00:33:34.360
go for it you’re just gonna increase the
00:33:34.360 –> 00:33:35.560
value of your home nothing wrong with
00:33:35.560 –> 00:33:37.520
that anything you put into your home
00:33:37.520 –> 00:33:38.960
that’s going to bring value is a
00:33:38.960 –> 00:33:40.820
worthwhile investment just so you know
00:33:40.820 –> 00:33:43.220
that real real estate is the one place
00:33:43.220 –> 00:33:44.840
I’m happy with people taking out money
00:33:44.840 –> 00:33:47.720
to do things so folks I’m gonna say
00:33:47.720 –> 00:33:48.860
that’s probably pretty much in on
00:33:48.860 –> 00:33:50.320
generators I’m sure there’s more but
00:33:50.320 –> 00:33:51.440
that’s kind of the extent of my
00:33:51.440 –> 00:33:53.300
knowledge like I strongly recommend if
00:33:53.300 –> 00:33:55.760
you do decide to do anything with
00:33:55.760 –> 00:33:58.480
generators I strongly recommend you
00:33:58.480 –> 00:33:59.960
contact the licensed electrician or
00:33:59.960 –> 00:34:01.720
visit like I said Home Depot or your
00:34:01.720 –> 00:34:03.760
local hardware store and I find out more
00:34:03.760 –> 00:34:04.940
information and find out what the
00:34:04.940 –> 00:34:06.740
pricing is and what you’re going to need
00:34:06.740 –> 00:34:08.160
some of that okay don’t take my word for
00:34:08.160 –> 00:34:10.000
it I’m just a guy doing a podcast that
00:34:10.000 –> 00:34:11.220
knows about this kind of stuff I’m not
00:34:11.220 –> 00:34:13.780
an expert on it so go ahead and make
00:34:13.780 –> 00:34:15.460
sure you get it told to those guys and
00:34:15.460 –> 00:34:17.640
you know get the right information that
00:34:17.640 –> 00:34:19.600
we want everybody to you know have these
00:34:19.600 –> 00:34:20.800
backup generators but want everybody be
00:34:20.800 –> 00:34:22.560
safe on the running them and you know
00:34:22.560 –> 00:34:24.100
everybody safety is the number one
00:34:24.100 –> 00:34:25.300
concern especially when you’re dealing
00:34:25.300 –> 00:34:27.020
with situation where you may be running
00:34:27.020 –> 00:34:28.920
this case of an actual disaster so
00:34:28.920 –> 00:34:32.040
safety is a big issue with that again
00:34:32.040 –> 00:34:33.460
