Quote:I would love to have a generator but we would use it so rarely it wouldn't be worth the expense. According to my husband. He's not the one who has to deal with a fridge and freezer of bad food when the power is out long enough. 

 

Generators could be had in the "off-season" for way less than they sell for new.  People kind of freak out and run out and buy one anytime a storm approaches, then later decide that it's taking up room and just want to get rid of it.

 

My first one that I bought was "used", but the only time it was started up was just during maintenance.  I got it at less than half the price that it cost when new.  My second one was an inheritance when my father-in-law passed away.

 

Being where you live, it's probably not a bad investment.
