Jim, Do me a favor and keep me updated if you do get this particular generator system. Living here in Florida, having an uninterruptible power source is very valuable for people and our condition. And the cold I am able to put on more blankets, but if it is too hot, there isn't much I am able to do other than have my PCA set up my generator so I can run some fans and odds and ends. Quadius

We are considering getting a GUARDIAN Automatic Standby Generator, especially after the big storm and power outage we had last month. Our power was only out for 8 hrs, I have enough batteries to power the ventilator for at least 40 hours. Some people were out of power for a week.

I am only 18 months out, so I realize I'm really new at this. But boy I sure feel like I have a lot to learn. I know what an environmental control unit is, but as far as the UPS, and other initials and such that are being used I have no clue how to follow them. Can anyone help me? By the way, I came to know of this site through Steve Oldaker; he is friends/acquaintances with my father's cousin. I am very grateful for the connection.
