justanirishgirl : I will double check that number - it may be low. We use Generator Service Center. It's definitely more when the battery is replaced. I will check our last receipt and get back to you.
justanirishgirl : Update on generator maintenance. The fee August, 2023 was $150. February, 2024 was $175.
Does anyone have a portable generator that uses propane instead of gasoline? I appreciate any feedback.
teatime : Mine run on gasoline or natural gas. The propane would work fine, but you would need a bunch of small tanks for a longer outage, or a large tank.
billcherie2 : Ours are almost next to each other so we're luckily there. buffaloglenn : Yeah we'll go higher than lower. Do they make an 18? That would be perfect. Also, is the mini split going to cause a huge difference once we install it! Kittle : Oh absolutely! We're actually going to buy the generator direct (Kohler, Generac, Cummings, Lowes or Home Depot. My husband is incredibly handy so can do the basic stuff but then we'll have a plumber, electrician and contractor do the actual work. And the contractor (who knows a plumber and an electrician) just happens to be one of my husband's closest friends for the last 40 yesrs and he's done a TON of work for us over the years. His company will do anything but they mainly focus on building multi-million dollar apartments complexes across the country.
StormChaser : Like most things, size matters…. 
A 9000 btu mini split needs about 2500 watts of power (2.5 kilowatts). So you would of course have to factor that in to the generator sizing.

teatime : We do. Husband did all the work himself. He hooked it up to electrical panel we used 2 tanks This week w it. We won't use fuel in generator. He doesn't want it to clog up. I can ask what he all bought for it. This was a few years ago during Covid. We had search for the parts. Most you can buy from Home Depot but one part he had to order online. It runs the entire house ac 3 refrigerators, fans , & all tv plus is chargers are phones. I have no used washer or dryer during that time. I would rather wait have the ac instead.
