I was also helping my mother at the time who was going through chemo. Luckily she had a Generac whole house system that is "fully automatic" and runs the entire house. It was a Godsend for her and worth every penny she paid for it in just that one storm. I only had to shut it down to check the oil once a day and add a bit every couple of days with one oil/filter change towards the end of the outage. They all burn a little oil so that needs to be checked daily, especially if they are loaded up pretty good. Also you need to change the oil at 100 hours of runtime or 200 if running on NG (50 hours on gasoline) and using and using a full synthetic oil. There's a reason they put low oil level cutoffs on these things. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😉" title="😉" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" /></blockquote>
