re: new construction standby generator question

Their tank is big enough to get them through a hurricane but was not big enough to get them through this freeze.

This is assuming they had full tanks during each event.

Like anything else generator management is in order during times like that. I don’t run everything all the time-I run my household probably halfway and it’s comfortable. Upstairs AC is off during day and when we go up to sleep it is turned on an hour before and downstairs is turned off for the night. Etc...

Having said that most propane companies are out and about rather quickly after storm events that I’ve seen. Home propane availability is better than say a 5 gal bottle from Home Depot.

But if I’m depending exclusively on propane from the start I’m using a 1000 gallon and if it is buried then visibility shouldn’t be an issue. Plus just in general it means that much less time and effort you have to deal with having it refilled.
