[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3433037, member: 745"] We had a natural gas water cooled 21KW unit at our last house - 2008 thru 2015 - with no problems. We downsized with our 'retirement home' in 2016 and put in a propane gas air cooled 16KW unit and it has been testing just fine each week. It came on a couple times and ran for about half an hour each time. Maintenance is easy. The power is smooth and doesn't give the computers any fits. We had the house pre-wired for it with the Generac breaker box so the electrical hookup was easy. We had a plumber hook up the propane. I highly recommend putting in a standby generator. We lost power in an ice storm before we moved into our previous house. Power was out for about 5 days and it wasn't fun with no power. While the house we live in now was being built, we lived in a rent house in OKC and the street we were on lost power for about 3 or 4 days in another winter storm. Fortunately, our son loaned us a portable generator that kept the fridge running and the heat on. The only long duration power outages happened when we didn't have a backup generator! ...Don't know if it was karma or what ... Woody [/QUOTE]
