Every year during the summer, my family and I have to go without power at least once or twice.
We have lots of tropical storms and hurricanes that blow through that area.
We are right in the path of many storms due to our geographical location. Last year we had three storms cross through the area one after another. The three storms caused significant damage to the city and the surrounding neighborhoods. Several trees were down after the wind and rain and we didn’t have power for 3 days. During that time it was extremely hot and humid. We couldn’t run the air conditioner and all of the food inside of the house started to spoil. Mold started to grow in the kitchen, bathroom, and in the laundry area. After winter was over, I contacted an electrical contractor near me to talk about setting up a generator for the house. I contacted a commercial and residential electrical services company. The companies around here all provide services for generators. I had to find the company that I wanted to use and I chose a residential and commercial electrical services company with excellent customer service reviews. I bought a generator big enough to power up the whole house and that includes the pool, air conditioner, electronics, and the washer and dryer. We will have to worry about losing food in the refrigerator anymore now that we have the generator set up. We can stock up the refrigerator and the freezer and know that we will be ready if there is an extreme weather emergency.
