Last winter, my local part set records for snow accumulation. By the end of the season, the piles of snow were enormous; When a abrupt thunderstorm plus soaring hot plus cold temperatures arrived, there was countywide flooding. The snow melted, the river overflowed plus multiple inches of rain fell, at the same time, my fantastic friend and I experienced especially high winds that knocked down trees, limbs plus power lines. The power outages were expansive! My buddy and I were left without electricity for five days. The food in the refrigerator plus freezer spoiled. Without a working sump pump, the basement flooded with dirty water. The whole dwelling smelled bad plus felt hot. There was an incredible amount of detriment plus concerns with mold plus mildew growth. My buddy and I needed to replace the washer, dryer plus water pump plus all of the furniture in the basement, during the outage, my fantastic friend and I had no access to lights, internet, running water or any of our appliances. My buddy and I couldn’t run the cooling system or the dehumidifier. Because of the rain, my fantastic friend and I couldn’t even open the windows to get some relief from the heat. My buddy and I were certainly quite blessed that this power failure happened in the Springtime rather than the winter! Our local part experiences hot plus cold temperatures down to negative twenty-five degrees. Without a working heater, my fantastic friend and I couldn’t stay in the house. We’d be forced to brave dangerous road conditions to check into a hotel. There would be a risk of water pipes freezing plus bursting. After the last power failure, I had a standby generator installed. If our electricity goes out, the generator automatically starts up plus powers the entire dwelling for as long as necessary. There is no need for refueling because it runs on natural gas.
