Because in America we can have everything. There is no limit to comfort and quality of life. Our standard of living can be quite high and very affordable. This setup was only 20k installed, a pittance. While this setup is robust, it is not unusual for people to have 10 -15 kw NatGas generators as backup just in case there is an unforeseen interruption to their power (some kind of accident or calamity). It's why America is a wonderful place to live, you can have everything, what you see and hear in the media about how awful it is here is fake news. -Canadian expat.
