How much fuel does the generator consume? What is the switch-over time? Would it be useful for service interruptions or only full blackouts?

- Consultant32452 7y agoMy uncle lives in a place that loses power often. His system is propane. When the power goes out you might notice the lights flicker. I don't know how much fuel it consumes.
- oh_hello 7y agoThe switch over time is around 30 seconds. When your power is restored from the grid, it switched back seamlessly. Fuel is a great question. I have never looked at the consumption. Mine runs off the natural gas line, so I have no tank to fill. With this setup I feel I am in good shape for short and extended outages.
- DuskStar 7y ago> Mine runs off the natural gas line This has always felt risky to me. Sure, your setup will work for a garden-variety power outage, but not when it really matters like an earthquake or other natural disaster.
