When we built I convinced my husband to get whole house natural gas fed generator. He did just for me. Never really complaining at all. Then the last 11 years it has been wonderful several times a year for a few hours here and there. Then along came Helene. 200 hours or more. Best investment for our home is now what he says. You will never regret it. My 2 neighbors are now shopping for it now too. Personally I hope we never need for it to run that long again. But to have that security is very nice.
We thought about it when we built our house, but obviously didn’t proceed with it. I’m so glad we decided to go ahead with it now.
How much propane did it use for those 200 hrs? We just bought a house with one & i was wondering what we need to keep our propane level above. Ours runs a self test once a week. We will need to service the oil i guess, do you know anything about that?
@@prayonkreutz2398our is serviced once or twice a year. I think, really don’t remember, 300 gal. We have 3 tanks, but not sure what size they are.
Ours is 15 minutes max. Refrigerators, freezers, well, some lights and switches. Internet plug is not on it, but we can run an extension cord. Next time we are serviced we will ask if it can be put on the generator.
I could not be happier for you, CONGRATULATIONS, peace of mind is worth a lot 🍁🍂
We put in a whole house generator in 2013. We live on the southeastern NC coast. It’s been a great investment given the hurricanes we’ve had.
We had to move a Nelly Stevens holly when the generator was installed. The holly looks great now!
Having a generator is a game changer for sure. Living in Louisiana we have experienced many hurricanes/tropical storms over the yrs and loss of power for days on end. Prepping for a hurricane is already stressful enough not to mention the damage after. Our generac 24kw/ 200 hrs. has brought us peace of mind. Its gas and it runs once a week for five minutes (recomended) We were tired of losing power in 95° weather for days/weeks at a time. You will love having one, great investment👍🏻
You are absolutely correct! I am sure you have some storm stories to tell 😁
So glad that you are able to do this. Great peace of mind for the future. Rooting for that tea olive to make it 😊
Good morning, Jenny☕️Fingers Crossed for the Tea Olive 🤞🏻 Great idea for the whole house generator. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐶
One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was to have one installed. That was 3 1/2 years ago. 😊
Perfect! Great idea and got it installed quickly too! Glad you were able to save the tea olive. It looks great in its new spot.
We have a whole house, we wouldn't take anything for it!!! Ours was put in in January 2019 for medical purposes. You've made a great decision!! Love your videos. ❤💙🙏🙏
A generator was the best money we ever spent.. 🥳🥳 We purchased our Generac from Home Depot and our electrician got it all wired in.
That’s awesome!
Good morning Jenny and all. Its 46* in Ohio this morning. Watching you at dialysis.. always a good rhing to watch.
I got a whole house generator a couple years ago. The installation was completed in December the day before we got that arctic blast here in NC and my power went out the next day. I was thankful to the good Lord I had it. It really does give you peace of mind. Every time you talk about your tea olive tree I try to figure out how I can incorporate one in my tiny yard. 😊
I know it is really hard to lose that tea olive and move all your plants right now! However, the up side for your family and production is more than worth it in the end, especially after this last year! Better safe than sorry. ❤️
So excited you are getting the whole house generator! It is truly life changing and saving. Ours is 22 kw on the transfer switch. Complete overkill, but we had recently survived the Polar Vortex of 2013. I can run my entire house normally for about 2.7 gallons of propane per hour for 2400 sq ft. In Michigan, we require a battery warmer in extreme cold. Satellite internet access is awesome also, it will not miss a beat-as long as you have this beautiful generator. I would buy a Creekside Garden skin for the Generac-if you made them😉
We will pray for the tea olive❤ Blessings abound💕
We've had a whole house generator for several years and it was the best investment for us. Love it!!❤ You will too!!😊
Oh Jenny, lucky you…I would love to have a whole house generator. After Helene left us without power for 8 days, it’s my dream gift 😂😂. Those guys were sure lucky to have Jerry there to help them move everything. Love seeing Jackson helping his mama, good luck with the Tea Olive. ❤Prayers for Florida 🙏🙏
I love mine... exercises itself weekly and piece of mind when the power goes out.
I live in central Illinois and we can experience frequent power outages from strong winds, tornadoes, and occasionally a heavy snow. We have a whole house generator and love it! We never hear ours kick on. If I’m outside gardening I may hear it do the weekly test run. You’ll love it!
Thanks for sharing!
What a blessing to provide more security from all the crazy weather these days! Just another thing you hope you never need, but happy you have it when you do.
I do wish those Tea Olives grew up here, after hearing you and Erin Napier brag on their lovely scent!
We installed a generac several years ago after constant power outages. Then the power company came out and really started trimming back trees along the lines and the power has only gone out once since then. But it's the piece of mind that is priceless.
We had a whole house generator installed 2 years ago and it is the best thing we have done for our home! You will not regret it. We wait about 15 seconds when the power goes out and the whole house is up and running again. When the power is finally restored it shuts itself off. Now it does run a test once a month by itself. You are going to love it! It is a great peace of mind during a bad storm.
The generator is a game changer! Good Luck!😊
The generator will give you a lot of peace of mind. We have Generac as well. My nephew works for them on the supply end of things. He travels a lot for them.
We had our generac generator after the zero degree freeze we went through in Texas a few years ago. Thankfully we never list our power but everyone around did it was a miserable week for everyone. We had ours installed that spring and it has been used several times when we lost power in the middle of summer. It’s so comforting to know you don’t have to worry about power when you have one. It turns itself on and off as needed.
Because of you I planted a Tea Olive at the corner of my house. This is the first year of a full flush and it is definitely the most beautiful smell. ❤ it has left me wanting them everywhere.
Black walnut trees give off something from root which inhibits nearby plant growth. We have black walnut trees all around our area We watch the squirrels gathering the nut in the fall. Beautiful walnut lumber!
Watching you from Delaware.
Definitely a good investment!
Good morning from Seneca, SC. We had a Generac installed two years ago. Hurricane Helene was our first test run using it for 6 days. It came on and ran like a champ, be careful what you plant around it. I have crispy Autumn ferns after the generator blowing hot air on them for 6 days. No big deal, just a word of caution.
Thanks for the info! I will definitely keep that in mind.
When we built our house eight years ago, a whole house generator was first on the list!
I’m looking for a whole house generator too. 10 days without power was no fun. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on the Generec, we have one and the generator is great.
Oh my, I was so distressed when I saw that tea olive coming out! So glad you can save it.
We put in a whole home generator last year as did many in our area. You never know when you will need it.
Thankful for generators! But that first fill up of the new propane tank-that will be a dosie!
Such a good decision!
Congrats on the Generator, we have that same brand and love it. We rarely lost power in Cali. When we moved to the east coast we made sure we bought a house with one. We would always hear about storms taking out power on the east coast. Literally the 2nd day being in our new home a storm came knocked it out the power for 3 days. Generator kick on in less than a min and had power.
Such a great additions. Good morning everyone!
Wow. Newly moved evergreen will need water. Hoping for winter rains soon.
Wow Jenny. Awsome!😊
Good idea….we have a whole house Generac. It’s a peace of mind. Ours is the 14kw….we’re in a smaller (2100sf) ranch so it will keep some necessities going if needed.
Thanks Jenny. 🎃🍁💚
I'm glad you got a whole-house generator. We bought our house 12 years ago, it's suppose to have a whole house generator and and our son-in-law cleaned it once. We've never had to use it. Good cause we don't know how. Maybe you could widen that bed and replace the tea olive there for the smell
I wish I could afford it but I can’t. With all these storms it has to be a great investment
As always, love watching the videos. If you put your new tank down by the woods, can the delivery truck get down there to deliver propane without tearing anything up and does the water get to that area?
They can! The truck has a crazy long hose that reaches from the driveway to our current tank so it won’t be a problem 🙌🏻
Hey Jenn, we had to put our Generac in the front yard because that's where the power pole is. I didn't want the tank right where you could see it, so we had it buried. That could be an option.❤❤
The gas company told us that we can bury the tank 🙌🏻
Why didn’t you plant it up farther on the side of the back deck ? What a beautiful tea olive. Love it.
Because we already have plants there 😁
Trying to get my mother to get one. Every time the wind blows her power goes out! She said its too expensive.
Did you get power back? We have crows planting pecan trees in my flower beds
Olá bom dia
Jenny, do ya'll have a generator installed on your 5th wheel? Did you use it during your power outage for your coffee maker or a/c at nite?
Having a generator almost seems a necessity for homeowners in the southeast.
Interesting video, just wondering if you considered purchasing a solar generator and what you didn't like about them?
Curious to see if you just bump out the bed or not to still have tea olive by patio.
❤
🙋
Your propane tank so close to the trees, do you worry about more trees falling and damage the tank?
The gas company will come and do a sight survey and we will go from there.
Why did you choose generac
