Tell us all what you do to make sure you are ready for the next epic snow storm. Things you have found are a sure thing to have and what did not work as well as you thought it would.
I myself check fuel and oil in generator, start it up, plug it into the house and test transfer switch for proper operation. I check my generator quarterly also as you never know when that unexpected outage rears its ugly face. I also make sure to use fuel stabilizer in my generator fuel, I really like the air bubbler you plug in and when you lose power they will automatically come on. I have one set up with an air stone in the tank all the time. We all know we only lose power when we are not home. I change the batteries 2X a year when I do my smoke detectors to make sure they are always fresh.
Sooo! What do you do?
