Last Spring, right as the weather warmed up, we got hit by a huge storm. The increase in temperature caused rapid snowmelt. There were also torrential downpours plus high winds that knocked down branches plus took out power lines. There was widespread flooding, plus we were without electricity for four afternoons, however with no power, the sump pump failed to start up plus our basement filled with water… My great friend and I couldn’t take a shower, flush the toilet or do laundry. My great friend and I couldn’t run the tea maker, microwave or dishwasher… Food in the refrigerator plus freezer spoiled, Going without air conditioner was actually unpleasant. The house abruptly became boiling plus uncomfortable, then it was impossible to get a great evening’s sleep, because of the rain, we couldn’t even open the windows. I had problems with mold plus mildew growth. While no air conditioner component was discouraging, it wasn’t as problematic as a power outage in the winter would be. When the temperature drops below chilly, there’s the risk of the water pipes chilly. My great friend and I could be forced to brave icy roads plus snowy conditions to stay at a hotel. There’s the potential of safety risks plus major harm. I decided to invest into a permanently standby generator, however although a generator is a huge investment, I wanted peace of mind. If the electricity goes out, the generator will automatically start up within minutes plus power all of our appliances plus systems, including the sump pump, boiler plus air conditioner unit. I don’t even need to be on the premises, plus because the generator runs on natural gas, it will operate for as long as necessary.
