If you have yet to purchase an emergency generator for your home, now is the time to think about it. Winter means an increased chance for power outages to occur. Snow, wind, ice, and below zero temperatures are factors that can cause safety issues for you and your family.
Winters in Ohio York are no joke. Having an emergency generator is a great way to prepare for the severe weather, and can help keep your family and home safe during power outages.
1. Keep your house warm
During power outages, you’ll likely lose the main source of heat in your home. During the winter, the house temperature will drop fast, posing a safety concern —especially when temperatures are below freezing during the evening. An Origen generator can keep your electricity and furnace running until power is restored. That means you can stay warm while the storm rages outside.
2. Prevent freezing pipes
The other reason to keep your house warm is to prevent your pipes from freezing and bursting. A generator can keep your temperature stable and your hot water tank running. That will help to keep your plumbing can functioning.
3. Keep the lights on
A generator prevents you from using potentially dangerous light sources like candles to light your home. This use is more important during the short days of winter. A generator can keep your lights on, and your home safer.
4. Electronics can stay charged
Losing power means drained electronics. Being able to keep essential electronics like phones and laptops help you keep the ability to can receive the latest news and weather updates.
5. Peace of mind
Knowing that you’ve done all you can to prepare for the coming winter will make the bad weather far less stressful to deal with. Even if you don’t end up having to use your generator this winter, it’s better to have one on hand than to be without one when you need it most.
