We have a generator that can run our refrigerator and freezers, two small back up a/c units used for storms, well pump and electric outlets. We cannot run our electric range though as it is too much of a draw. We lost electric during Helene for a full day but with Irma we lost it for 2 days. She delayed our moving to our home in 2017.We have a 250 gal propane gas generator for most things, but we were without power for over 90 hours after Helene. It’s fine if you’re out of power for 36 hrs or so, if you don’t have your generator hooked up to your AC… but after that it gets painful. We bought a new generator for this hurricane season. For the our AC & possibly our oven. (AC is all I care about) Those are the only two appliances that are not hooked up to our generator back-up
