We've lived in Alton Bay since 1996, without a generator until about 2 years ago or so. We had endured outages from a 2-4 hours to over a week, with the latter only occurring a couple or three times.

I had a friend give me a used 6000 watt manual start generator ending the drought. Since then, we've lost power a few times for relatively short periods of time, and my wife was very happy that I was able to pull the generator out, hook it up, fire it up, and have power back in just a few short minutes. I do fire it up quarterly and let it run for 15 mins or so.

While I like having the generator, my wife loves it, once again thus proving the old adage: happy wife, happy life. So my advice, make sure you have a generator.
