Just lost power in Vienna (22180) but our new natural gas generator (installed a month ago) kicked in after 30 seconds- we don't have power for the whole house but that would have cost way more- yea- the generator works! (we have lost power so many times and for such a long time that we decided a generator was the best thing- last summer DH was about to go to surgery, we have two under 5- even our chocolate cookies melted- temps over 100- we've also had to run to a hotel while snow was dumping and got towed out ETC- at least 10 major outages-we got together with our neighbors and got discounts for doing this together).
