I just purchased one of these: http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/Guardian-5501/p1819.html
It won't be able to run my home a/c, but it will run the fridge and a window unit and lights. I live off Dalrymple, my neighbor across the street has one that has been running non-stop since monday. As long as you have a licensed electrician and plumber connecting the wiring and gas connectors, you shouldn't have any problems. Another neighbor is an inspector for the City of BR, he said just get someone to hook it up. I'm going to call the BR 311 number today and just double check to make sure there are no issues. The only thing i'm not sure about at this point is that you have to have a certain sized incoming pipe, to get enough input to the generator to supply it fuel. I hope I have the right size for the unit i purchased. I'll just have to see when the plumber comes out. Another thing. If you purchase a generator after the storm and you are making an insurance claim, they may pay for part of the cost of the generator. Save your receipts on any purchases. They may also pay for some of your relocation cost, as well as FEMA may reimburse you for some of those cost as well. Still no power for me, but my mom has power in Walker. I stayed there last night, It was great! If any one has any needs let me know, i'll try to do what i can. bb On Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 11:36 AM, Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Let me know what you find out about natural gas generators.
