Knew some people that stayed for Laura and had a whole home Generac so maintained power the whole time. Their gas bill was over $1,000 the following month
but they didn’t have electric bills

100 hours for air cooled
300 for water cooled.
That’s recommended oil change. They’ll run until the fuel or oil runs out.

It needs an oil change every 60 hours.

It's almost like NG is an amazing energy source or something. Priced like we just burn the shite because we can't get rid of it almost.

I have a 36 KW generator and last time I look at my natural gas prices, I calculated $30-50 per day depending on load. It's cheaper than a hotel room and I get to stay in my house.

I hope you have enough oil it will need to be changed and it’s to late now to get it
