Appliances and Services

 

Have you taken inventory of the appliances and services that would be shut down during a power outage, and their consequences?

Heat – how long can you stay in your house without heat? Hot water – you may not have the recourse of nearby hotels if the outage is widespread in your area Freezer and Fridge- winter time would give you the option to store foods outside, but you would have to throw away all content after just a day or two during summer time

Computers – we may welcome to be cut off from computers from time to time, but for home-based businesses, offline existence can spell disaster. Consider also the fact that most of us rely on internet connectivity for much of our information needs, rendered even more crucial in emergency situations.

Cell phones – with landline phones in rapid decline throughout the nation, many households rely on their cell phones for all their communication needs. And cell phone, of course, need to be recharged regularly, as do cordless phones.

Medical support – do you need to run medical equipment in your home? If yes, a standby generator will provide you with life support electricity.

Sump pump – a sump pump failure will always occur when you need the pump the most, during a storm, a flooding, or when your water heater collapses.

Pipes – frozen pipes that burst in the middle of winter can cause thousands of dollars of damage

Stove and Microwave – this maybe the least inconvenience suffered during an outage, as resourceful homeowners can resort to uncooked foods. Just make sure that these foods do not spoil.
