Go hit up Costco champion generator like 4000watts for $300 and last I heard use Honda motors.
Run a lot of stuff on 4000 watts. Gotta keep the fridge n freezers cold

Install a better muffler? Aftermarket?

My Toyota Tacoma came with a 400w inverter.

All I do is open the garage door.
Start up the pick up and let it idol.
Run an extension cord to a power bar near the tank.
Plug in my low wattage AMP Master circulation pump
Plug in a Tunze water pump to each tank

Run it for approx 15 minutes every 3 to 4 hours and you should be fine.

What Costco are you shopping at? 550 is the cheapest they have.

Nice. For that price, I'd buy one today. But cheapest they have now is 550ish and tax. Since I've never had a loss of power for more than an hour in 20 years, hard to spend that kind of money.

Just a couple short power blips on Sunday, despite the raging storm out there.

But my Shaw internet, TV and phone were down all day Mon and just came up this afternoon (Tues). This is the 2nd multi day Shaw outage in 6 months (while the power was up). Not sure what their excuse is, but next time Telus offers me a good promotion, I will seriously look at it.

I would phone shaw and complain
I have done that and they gave me a day's cost back on the monthly bill

NOOOOOO telus is beyond terrible
i cant wait until my contract is up. Ive already told them to cancel the day the 3 year is done dont even bother calling to confirm.
the reason they offer all these "extras" is because the service itself is so sub par compared to shaw.
