Genie... heheheee.
BTW, if anyone gets a genie which won't run everything at full load (no house needs one that big), ALWAYS bring the equipment back on in sequence. NEVER allow all of it to start at the same time or you'll trip the genie out. A lot of quip draw 2 to 3 times the operating amperage on startup. Lights and furnace and wait until heat delivery has begun. Then, ONE fridge... then, ONE freezer... etc
