We're on about day 5 of a heat wave an last night at around 10:30 we heard the power go out.
10 seconds later genny kicked in.
PGE have a turbine bird flying throughout the county following lines.
No reason given by PGE but site shows, ETA 2 PM today. Well see.
It's 11:30 and we just hit 100 air temp.
It powered a variable speed 5 ton AC all night and is currently powering it and the whole house.
Gens under a reflective canopy.
Gens got a fresh sump of 0W-40 in her and Ive got a mister cooling down the area in front of the inlet.
I'm running a 1/4 GPM 3 head mister choked back down to the point where it will atomize and Im guessing it's about 1/8 GPM a minute.
Water is double filtered and softened.
Front of unit is dry but the area is "about" 20 degrees cooler than surrounding air.
