Warning about cheap generators
Power is now back on at our place - yeehaa
Not before the damage was done though.
We have a Rinnai instantaneous gas hot water service. Well we were desperate for a shower so I hooked up my cheap generator originally purchased from a rather large hardware chain several years ago. We managed to get about 5 mins of hot water before the HWS died. Not just the fuse but a black burnt out board.
Just priced a new one - $1200 plus installation.
Bummer
Moral of the story - don't use cheap generators on anything that has electronic components
