Our back up generator received its first test yesterday afternoon, 3 to 4.25.

It was a planed outage to get the mobile generators on line and shut down the damaged plant. At least that is what we were told by Hydro, as well as the third back up mobile generator is still on the way

The back up generator worked well, I hooked it up to one 1500watt heater, the computer and to an electric fry pan, even boiled the kettle for a warming cup of tea after coming in from a walk.

I think all houses should be equipped with a back-up generator. We depend so much on electricity that it's hard to survive without it. For instance, no computer and no internet.... gasp! We were part of the big blackout 4 summers ago... no fridge, no freezer, no lights, for 24 hours. At least it was summer!
