Now what do you suppose that that might be? Technology marches on. It's the new generation of residential generators. Our new Lennox generator provides 70 % of the houses normal power during a power failure. It is hooked up to the
natural gas lines and automatically turns on 4 seconds after an interruption of electrical power. It's all automatic and it's maintenance free. It will test itself every Sunday afternoon to see that it is still operating properly.

The best thing is the quiet operation. There is a low hum, but it is only audible from the dining room and kitchen . The old generators could be heard from a block away. When power is restored, it turns off and returns to stand by mode.

The last big storm that left us without power for 24 hours sold it. No more water in the basement from sump pump failure. No more fear of sleepless nights without air conditioning. No more spoiling food in the refrigerator.

We may dine by candle light but Richard shall cook in a brightly lit kitchen with hot water and a dishwasher.

New technology makes everything better.
