Hello all. I intriduced myself in the appropriate subforum.
Wanted to say im on the hunt for an mep-002a. I have a couple questions.
Not sure whats better for me. 003a or 002a.
Maybe you all can help.
House is 1400 sq ft in upstate ny. Winter temps as low as sustained -15 f at night to around 95 deg to 100 at most in summer. I'm fairly mechanically inclined. House has natural gas hot water baseboard with to zone pumps, and window a/c's on summer. One is 12k btu, the other 2 are 5-6k btu, with a possible third at 6k btu being added this summer to my man room that i finished late this fall. Right now i live alone but shortly i'll have my girlfriend and dog living with me. I don't want to wet stack the 003a, so i have a feeling a 002a would be best with my requirements. Currently 1 large flat screen, 2 smaller flat screen tvs, 1 desktop, all kitchen stuff, and fan for wood stove i forgot to mention.
Do you all agree that the 002a would be best at roughly 5k rated but really 7.5 under optimal conditions and temperatures, or would the 003a be prefered ?
I'm prowling for one on govliq first as i hope to score a nice one that requires light to medium mechanical work to get running 100%.
There is a guy north of me 30 minutes that bought several 003a's and resells them. He has two for sale that look in great shape in person. One green and one desert tan. I REALLY like the Green one. Asking price is $3,250 for each. The ad claims there is no reason why the 60 hours on the green ones clock isn't all there have been on this genset, but we all know they are frequently reset several times by the military. Lastly i love the 002's low fuel consumption. I'm torn. And how does $3,250 asking price sound for a very nice looking 003a?
