This peaked more interest than I expected... I do have an update.
The gas line is done, new 14kw Generac is in place, gas hooked up, wiring from generator to below the deck is in. Last step is to wire the switch next Wed. Looks like we can get the water heater and a couple baseboard thermostats on it. But just two. they are electricity hogs. We have 2 gas fireplaces so we wont get cold if there is a winter outage.
The old 7kw was wired by a crack head, looks like only about 4 or 5 15 amp breakers were on it...And how they did it seemed to baffle both electricians that were out so far. So thats all useless and being scrapped.
I got the plug in our storage room to be put on the new Gennie, so I am moving the garage fridge to that room on the lower level today. Garage is not attached and running out to get meat and beer when its hovering around 0-20 and trying not to touch the dirty cars blows.
So far every step took far longer and was a bigger PITA than anticipated (by the installers). I have been here long enough to expect nothing to the easy or fast.
Stay tuned for one last update (better be) after all is done.
