A friend of mine is having a house built in the mountains of West Virginia. She just asked me to go online and check prices for a Briggs And Stratton Standby Generator. This needs to be a whole house generator as they often lose power during the winter months. I asked how often this happens and how long they do without electricity. Imagine my surprise when she said her parents were without power for a month last year. Thankfully they have this type of whole house generator so they were covered. I can’t imagine living that way. It would drive me crazy. I can see why she refuses to build a house without having this appliance installed.
