If your GFIs are tripping, it implies you’ve developed a short, wouldn’t you think? It’s good you’re calling an electrician. They’ll figure it out quickly and safely.

Our generator runs off our propane tank. The automatic switch is on the outside of our house, partly protected by a deck. I won’t be surprised if it eventually develops a problem given the fierce weather we can get in NE PA.

Good luck!
