SPEAKERS
AND SUBJECT: Bill Melnychuk on Electric Generators
SUMMARY
OF TALK
Bill
Melnychkuk operates as the Briarcliff Generator Services
(914-762-4443) and he charges by the hour for recommending what kind
of Electric Generator for you to install which can operate to power
what you need when Con Ed's power supply is interrupted. He can
recommend a Generac or Kohler Generator which can be powered by
gasoline or natural gas or propane, and he can help you get the
necessary permits since the generator has to be outside of your house
and has to be kept operational. You decide what electrical power
sources you want to run, for example the electric motor that helps
heat your house via a motorized fan. Some pick a generator which is
large enough to power whole house. The total cost can run from $3,500
- 12,000 depending on the size of the generator. Generac has
80% of market. He has to notify ConEd since cannot operate
generator that feeds the Con Ed system.
This
Friday- No speaker. The day after Christmas. Those who want to meet
on Friday Dec. 26 will meet in the main dining room of The Briar's
and eat off the menu paying that amount (plus tip) with a contibution
from our club.
