Whatever you decide on, by law, you must install a transfer switch that takes your home off the grid when using the generator. Back in the mid 1980's when Hurricane Gloria hit Long Island there was a case when a homeowner was using a generator without the transfer switch and a linemen was hurt badly when trying to restore power to the area. If I recall correctly it wound up in a serious lawsuit in which the homeowner lost.
Now I Really Need a Power Conditioner? ?
I have just returned from a survey of a new house in the coutntry, where my wife and I have been hoping to close on the deal in the next week or so.
Just when I thought there couldnt possibly be any more expenses involved in this new venture for us, our new neighbors have informed us that branches and trees fall frequently in the Winter, and knock out the power lines sometimes for a couple of days or so.
I can survive without heat, food etc., but I would really be traumatized to be without music and audio during these times.
Therefore, could any of you please explain if you have any experience with electrical generators, which ones I might review, and if there are any that could possibly power up a few lights, TV etc and still keep my Levinson amp happy?
Could there possibly be an "audiophile" generator?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
