gas generator recommendations [RE-wrenches]

[William Miller]

Todd:

We also recommend that the customer intervene with generator start and work 
around their lifestyle and weather.  However, many of our clients have 
Mates (and more will have Xantrex XW remote monitors), allowing remote 
generator start.  Clients can avoid tromping through the rain to start a 
generator.  In these cases, interfacing with the generator is essential.

Furthermore, if my client wants to travel periodically, knowing the house 
sitter does not have to make the generator decisions gives peace of mind.

Therefore, generator start interface is always recommended.

William Miller

PS:  We set the generator quiet time to extend through about noon.  I hate 
to see a generator start and perform a charge cycle at the beginning of a 
sunny day.
