Great test. I would consider putting a backup light in that downstairs living room so you can see the electrical panels in case you need to access them in an outage. Also as you pointed out the stairwell could use one. Thanks for the video

I think the idea is to add another running man exit light at the main door with 2 spots lighting up the bottom of the stairs. What would you think Nic?
I can't put a running man sign as they are quite an aesthetically pleasing in a home as they stand out a lot. I will possibly do an emergency fixture however.
IDEA: what if you turned the recessed light in the stairwell above the fire door in the house to an emergency light? (same fixture, just with a battery connected somewhere). there is a way to do this, i see AC fixtures all the time with a plate on the ceiling next to it with a battery charge indicator and test button. the light switch still controls the light but when power is lost, the light is always on, the switch position doesn't matter.
Watching this video makes me want to wire a few emergency lights in my house, mostly in the basement near the generator transfer switch. My town looses power often, like every other week. The emergency lights will come in handy.
would you consider getting a battery backup system for the house? such as ecoflow, yes its a bit pricy but im sure in the long run it would be a great thing to have
when power is lost, the emergency lights immediately turn on and are powered by a battery that is usually contained inside of the unit though sometimes a light may be powered by a separate battery pack. when there is power, the battery is kept charged so it is full when power is lost.
5:30 You have the DJI Mini 3 Pro drone, I have the same one; but I have the 4th generation of the Mini Pro. The Mini 4 Pro has omnidirectional sensors, which covers 360 degrees for the; “Field of View”.
I do really think you could deal with an emergency light to the fuse box in the living room basement as it will provide you with some light to see what you are doing in the fuse box. It is up to you anyway.

I'm not a generator expert. But I believe I know why you don't have generators backing up your house: 1: You'd then need to evenly split the load between the generators (therefore being 4 headaches on figuring that out.) Therefore it'll hopefully prevent overheating/overload of 1 or all of them. 2: With that, you'd need probably 4 if not more generators. You'd then need them to come on at the same time. 3: You'd have to figure out where to safely exhaust them. 4. With this project all together you'd probably be spending more money then you'd like to. There's probably more reasons but my comment would be super long. But i think those are some of the reasons why.
can you do a video of your washing machine running and then stopping when the power goes out, and then youre in the hallway and come into the washroom and dsay "damn power outage! my laundry is more important!" 🤣
I have done it before in a video a long time ago. Typically I just make sure it's they last the required 30 minutes as fully depleting them degrades the batteries faster.
It's a really good setup. It I don't see why you don't put the houses fire alarm system on the generator too just as it kind of life safety but other than that love all of ur videos
@@ilikeelectronics100 not always an option you gotta do what you gotta do. Many times the situation you're showing is in rain snow etc. and won't happen again or your opportunity to do a test when it won't disrupt others is limited.
I would argue that the living room is indeed important to light up, seeing as the electrical panel is in the far corner of the room. If there's a power outage, that's usually where you'd look to fix the problem, right?
Usually power outages are a fault of the utility provider I've never in a residential building had a main breaker trip it shouldn't but theoretically can happen and I have seen it happen in commercial.
@@nics-systems-electric Fair enough, and if something did trip, it wouldn't disconnect the whole house and/or take out all the lighting I suppose. Good point, you are right
Yes mine runs on gas stored locally that's why any emergency generators here have to have locally stored fuel instead of natural gas that will shut down
On Thursday, there is literally a heat wave at my school and it happened at dismissal, but it was 108°F I think and it caused the power to go out because of the heat wave and that’s crazy but on Friday I had no school
NIC PLEASE SEE THIS: I think you should switch from a gas generator to many eco flow generators which are extremely eco friendly and many generators san be wired together and they will work with your current system in your gen building and they last way longer and don't need gas so you don't have to pay those hefty prices (and they are compatible with a solar panel or the ones they provide. Also is your name actually Nic?
I am aware of the option. But I don't see how that would perform how I need it to. Though battery technology is getting better I don't think it's mature enough yet. Still can't quite perform how ICE's do when it comes to back up systems. I want something that can run for many hours and be topped off during an outage. Yes my name is Nic.

that is really impressive, you got a decked out garage? lucky! I wish I had a separate building to my self :)
This was the perfect video to do at night. Thanks 👍
Odd question, but what light strips do you have in your Garage? The ones around the main door and where the ceiling tile changes elevation.
15:45 sorry man I laughed so hard.... I gotta get my mind out of the gutter
That's valid lmao
Nic for October testing can you do the the smoke detector in your room and in the garage can you do the storage room pull station
the way the power turns on is soooooo satisfying
This is so cool!
Love your videos man!

Those are specific emergency lighting fixtures they require two sources of power to operate.
@@nics-systems-electric yeah, i just thought it might be a good idea. but i guess it might be difficult to run another power connection to it.
What is the loud click in the drone angle?
Audio from the drone is the same as from the outside camera
Amazing! Love your videos and I will always be a supporter ❤
I appreciate it

That would require a transfer switch like a generator which at that point I'd rather install a generator
@@nics-systems-electric do you have any plans on putting a generator in the main house or no because of the reasons you explained in your other video
@@Clip_It1 no, would be extremely expensive, especially because there's no propane or natural gas. It would have to be diesel.
@@nics-systems-electric alright tysm for your response
I had no idea samsung fridges made a little jingle on power up thats awesome!
Dose the emergancy lighting work by when the pwoer is cut it just switches on? Forgot how to explain lmao

5:50 it seems like I did not hear the fire door in garage close so it was likely closed because camera did not pick the sound of it closing up
You should get glass break sensors for your garage security system

I would love to do that to our property cause sometimes are power goes out as well !
Great power outage video.

The money reason is one of them
This reminded me of the power outage that happened at my apartment on sept 11
you could add a battery pack in the living room and put a remote in the stairwell
You should add a emergency generator shutdown button that you usually see in most commercial buildings.
Planning on it going to cost me a few hundred however
I noticed that the outdoor emergency light was on the whole time, even before power was cut, do you know what’s going on with it?
Had to do a retake
whea did you get that drone
Very very cool! I am curious why the house lights dont come on too? Is it because the generator is insufficent or just because :) thanks!

Yes they do
@@nics-systems-electricyou should install it in your house so when you are sleeping the buzzer will go off if someone breaks in your garage shed
@@Nateboy1236 because of siren installed in the outside generator room you can hear it in the house still
@@nics-systems-electric oh okay
Have you ever done a full emergency light test with A.C. supply off and just see how long they last just on the battery back up .
I have done it before in a video a long time ago. Typically I just make sure it's they last the required 30 minutes as fully depleting them degrades the batteries faster.
you should install light at the stairs going up asap fall trip hazzard etc
Might do something about it sometime we will see
i like your videos ❤
All ready for storm season; it’s just around the corner.

Have you stopped doing the schools’ fire alarm testing lately?
Haven't worked there since June
@@nics-systems-electric How’s Jamie and Peter doing?
Just wondering if your neighbors are inconvenienced by the noise of your generator test given the time of day?😁
Can't even hear it from inside my house so you definitely wouldn't from the neighbor's house
Set up the fire alarm by the panel for next month

The house fire alarm panel is installed in the house not the garage. There is no generator power in the house.
whats your relashonship with that school are you a tech for stuff or what
What school?
add a generator runinging light on the Garage buliding
I installed one on the generator building!
