Last Spring, right as the weather warmed up, the people I was with and I got hit by a immense 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 the people I was with and I were without electricity for numerous afternoons! With no power, the sump pump failed to start up plus our basement filled with water… Every one of us couldn’t take a shower, flush the toilet or do laundry. Every one of us couldn’t run the coffee maker, microwave or dishwasher… Food in the refrigerator plus freezer spoiled, Going without a/c was legitimately unpleasant. The apartment swiftly became boiling plus uncomfortable. It was impossible to get a unbelievable night’s sleep, but because of the rain, the people I was with and I couldn’t even open the windows. I had problems with mold plus mildew growth. While no a/c was aggravating, it wasn’t as problematic as a power outage in the Winter time would be. When the temperature drops below frosty, there’s the risk of the water pipes frosty. Every one of us could be forced to brave icy roads plus snowy conditions to stay at a hotel. There’s the potential of safety risks plus major disfigure. I decided to invest into a permanently standby generator, although a generator is a immense 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, oil furnace plus a/c. 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.
