If it were trying to power my entire house, including the hot tub, it
wouldn't last nearly that long. I consumed 2088 kWh last month.

Full disclosu like the clothes dryer, the hot tub isn't on the
generator transfer switch. If we had a prolonged winter power outage,
we'd drain the hot tub and clear the pump so it wouldn't burst.
