Thanks! Does that include a boiler or are you running a wood stove for heat?

Would i need to hook it up to the house? My understanding is that they run differently whether it is idling or under load

Kill the breaker to the well pump. Drain the house from the lowest point. This will probably be the blue expansion tank where the well water runs into the house. Open the sink faucets to relieve pressure. Hope for the best.
Dont forget to drain the water out of the baseboard heaters if you have any.
I wish you the best of luck.

Unfortunately the manual doesn't have it listed. I think the box said something like 7 hours at full load and 12 hours at half load, but i threw that out about 5 years ago. I wasn't sure how realistic either of those numbers are
