I learned this MANY years ago from a friend who was a mechanic. Glue a piece of copper between the posts to act as a sacrificial anode. I used to use a penny but there isn't enough copper in them now so get you a copper washer. All of the corrosion will migrate to the copper and leave your posts clean. I've done this on my cars for 40 years and IT WORKS!

Use caution when buying a Kohler, their dealer service network is nowhere to be found in many areas of the country and in areas where their might be one they can be a bit touchy if you didn't buy from the when it comes to service, I have a 12RESV unit 1/1/2 years old 100 hours running time that has failed and because I had a local electrician install it the local Kohler dealer told me they no longer will do service calls on units they did not sell and install, so basically no matter what Kohler offers as a warranty it's useless in my situation so I now own a nice Yard ornament....Choose wisely

Ran into this when doing research on stand-by generators. The video was excellent. The humor gems included were great.

This is excellent sound advice! Really enjoyed your approach to simplicity and comedy, while giving home owners GREAT BACKUP information. And, it’s coming from a certified/experienced electrician!

As a retired service member, we typically vet, research, and look things over with a fine tooth comb times 100, for overkill. 😂 Just to ensure there are no high risk liabilities. You my friend, have sold me on your setup! It’s clean, practical, and quite efficient! I have a 200amp 4000sqft home, and I was contemplating a mobile generator unit. Down here in TEXAS, we seem to go through unpredictable power outages during both winter and summer.

Now, I’m researching and getting quotes to install a 20kw Koyler year! Thanks again for your informative video!

YOU ROCK- From a veteran to an electrician, AIRBORNE!

I build custom steel stands for those generators. Some of the cities around me wont allow wooden stands anymore. They also raised all the flood zone levels so I've built some pretty high stands. I think my highest stand so far has been a nine foot stand. I've been thinking about getting certified to service those generators. It never hurts to make extra money!

Thanks! Not a DIY’er but did help me get through my 20-minute cycle ride.. (and I learned something)👍🏻

The 6:00 minute mark in this video is one of the most important! Copper is expensive but you Buy Once & Cry Once… When you mess with the distance of a LNG or Propane line and have a heavy load to supply it will mean all the difference in the world to keep it running to peak!

Time Stamp: 9:59 was an EXCELLENT demonstration concerning raw Ng. Nicely done, Spicer Designs!

[OneEyeCustoms]

Loved it! Been waiting for a new video. Thanks for the “plug” on my video, the decal on your toolbox and the fart on the pillow! I’m still laughing at your daughter on the bike 😂😂😂
You sure know how to make what would normally be a boring video into something very entertaining! Nice job.

I had no idea to check with the utility company to ensure adequate fuel capacity to the generator but it makes perfect sense. Great tip! Thanks!

Thanks a lot from Northern California - Sonoma County. Subbed 2/20/23. Our house has gas on one side and power panel on the entirely opposite side of the house! Something to think about!! Thanks a lot!

This is a phenomenal video packed with GREAT information. Bravo Spicer!

[mikeduwe]

Man, I wish the inside of my breaker box was that neat! One perk of having new construction done by one person at one time....and I'm sure it helps if the homeowner is the electrician

[williamsimpson]

Excellent down to earth explaining. Even a old dummy like me understands. Thankyou!

[gabeaguilar]

Wait....if your talking freezing temps and your afraid of loosing your beer....just put it outside!

[RadThings]

That’s the cleanest electrical wiring I have seen. Nice job!

[spraggerm]

So clean electrical boxes. My new house I'm building I elected to go with a portable backup from the meter. Great information on the setup. Keystones are safe from going warm yay.
Cheers Kyle

Super HELPFUL detailed information which is gonna make me a way more informed consumer. You're the archetype of why I go to youtube for information: expertise delivered in an understandable and practical way... and the humor is fun brother!

[richardleesparks]

"That system was frowned upon." lol. Thanks for the video. Really helped fill in some information gaps for me.🤙

[J_D_Rambro]

Another outstanding video! Gonna have to binge watch your previous videos!!
