Hold on tight.
Speaker A:We have a great around the house show coming up this weekend.
Speaker A:Help us out and subscribe on your favorite podcast player.
Speaker A:In the first hour of the show, Eric G. And John Dudley sit down with legendary interior designer Wendy Glasester of Wendy Glacier Interiors.
Speaker A:They talk about the newest design trends from the world famous high point market where the latest in furniture is showcased and then tackle her tips and tricks to decorating for the holidays.
Speaker A:This is a must listen episode.
Speaker B:And she just had simple little garlands with pretty little velvet red ribbon and that was it.
Speaker B:And I thought could I come to love Christmas again?
Speaker B:Is it possible?
Speaker B:I don't feel like bogged down under the weight of having to produce.
Speaker B:Yeah, I think that's the thing.
Speaker B:None of us want to produce a Christmas really anymore.
Speaker B:I don't think, to be honest, we have the energy for it because of what we've just done.
Speaker C:So much energy for so little time, right?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:So just some pretty fresh garland and a nice tree and some candles and a few bows and just enough to elevate it enough so that in the middle of winter it's not depressing and gray and sad outside and something pretty.
Speaker A:In the second hour of the show, Eric G. Sits down with Todd Welsbacher from Champion Power Equipment.
Speaker A:It doesn't matter if you are looking for energy storage, a small generator for tailgating, something to power your job site, or even backup power for your home.
Speaker A:Todd has you covered.
Speaker A:This is a high energy conversation you don't want to miss.
Speaker D:Once you get over 7,500 watts, you're pretty well covered.
Speaker D:Except for AC.
Speaker D:Once you start talking about central air, you're, you're into the 20,000 watt category.
Speaker D:So really there weren't was no portable that would be AC capable and that's why everybody went to home standby units because they were larger and you can get 20kW, 22kW on standby.
Speaker D:These new portables, again we call them portable at 20 kilowatts will be able to power that central AC.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:And that's.
Speaker C:And that goes for heat pumps too guys, because you think about a heat pump, if you've got a heat pump unit, it's just an AC working backwards so it's using the same amount of power.
Speaker C:So if you went energy efficient on your house and put a heat pump in, awesome.
Speaker C:But you're just going to have to treat that like AC when you're starting to think about your.
Speaker A:All that and more.
