Power sometimes goes off for long times, like when there are wildfires in remote areas taking out power.

So I keep small window a/c's and stay in one room or the other rather than use the central a/c, which draws a lot of generator power and propane.

I don't chart results but it feels right. I can make some estimates to back up or refute this.

Good luck with your power.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
