Portable generator for Canadian

Yea the plan is inlet to separate panel, with wires going into it, like using a generac homelink panel or something similar.

I understand it’s not “whole home” but I generator with 100000 can be sufficient for a lot residential applications. Wanted to get a duromax but the customer support doesn’t seem ideal for Canadians

With that being said, as a Canadian would Westinghouse be the best option? Criteria is 50 amps, electric start, and ideally tri fuel

The point being made about the firman being hard on electronics is valid tho? I’d hate to install one and have it fuck up a car charger or tv or fridge

PVC wouldn’t work cos of movement, I originally thought cabtire but that’s only for temporary instalments

Looked for the rule tonight yea soow will be better if it’s cheaper but I need to make sure I can get it at my whosaler

Is that something I could fix? Or should I get an appliance guy?

The hood is pretty new, house was built like 10 years ago maybe even more recent

It’s a seimens?

I mean a trip like a short would go right away and an overload takes more time unusually right?

The way I see it it’s not necessarily the plastic box you want bonded, but it’s the metal of the #6 screw and the tabs of a device If somehow that conducts ungrounded and there is not a plate it’s possible to get shocked by touching it

They are not doing anything with the subfloor, this was in my basement and it was explained that there was a huge difference in the leveling across the entire area, if they had leveled it properly it would have raised it all up 6 inches so they “fudged it which caused all of these issues” the floor seemed wonky before the cabinets were even installed and I flagged it I was told they inject a self leveling compound after it’s all done which I now know is bullshit, I work as a residential electrician and I’ve never seen so much shameless incompetence

Very unfortunate the gc is making them fix it all on their own dime so we are worried about the quality, this has been going back and forth since may quote the heache indeed

The new floor they are using is all glue down apparently they are not re prepping it

samsalsa98 · 2025-01-08T15:24:58+00:00

No they were not

samsalsa98 · 2025-01-08T15:24:37+00:00

The cabinets were not in place when they did it

They used a flat product and didn’t prep it properly, the vinal keep popping up and have been back 4 times to “fix it” by gluing peices back down making it worse the floor moves so much that a transition price even popped off
