Power outages are fairly common in my local area.
We experience legitimately dire weather, just about all year long.
In the Springtime, when the temperature suddenly warms up, there’s troubles over the snow melt causing flooding. In the winter, all of us suffer blizzards with feet of now falling within a matter of hours & un-even temperatures down to twenty below zero. Thunderstorms are common in both the Summer & fall, often bringing torrential downpours, then anytime the weather turns ugly, there’s usually legitimately high winds. The winds knock down branches, trees & power lines. We can be left without electricity for a few hours, a few hours or over a week. When there’s no power, there’s no access to heating, cooling, water heating, sump pumps, refrigerator, lights or any modern convenience. We can’t flush the toilet, take a shower or regulate the temperature of the house. In the summer, all of us can expect the food in the refrigerator to spoil & excess humidity to cause mold & mildew growth. Without a/c, the home becomes terribly tepid & sticky. During the colder weather, all of us worry about pipes freezing & being forced to transport into a hotel. We can’t stay in the home without a working heating idea if the temperature plummets. Although a standby generator is a legitimately massive investment, I know it was worth it. The generator is permanently installed outside my home & automatically starts up & takes over in the event of a power outage. It prevents mangle, keeps our essential systems operational & allows my family to continue their everyday lives.
