[BVARC] Portable Generators Fw: Emergency Preparation Supplies Sales Tax Holiday

[Lee Usry]

Mark,

Honda and Yamaha are true benchmarks. I have a Yamaha Y series 2800 and it has powered two refrigerators, a television, a fan and LED lights during many times of power loss. 
 I use it for DJ work as it is inverter technology. 
 If you’d like more info call me at 832-473-4002.
