Keep the lights on during the storm:

  • Manual backup power solutions are cost effective and can be stored in a convenient location. Battery operated systems can be run indoors; gas system will need to be run outside.

  • After manually turning them on and connecting to your home power system, gas units will run for around 10-12 hours on one tank of fuel and allow you to run your key appliances and communication devices.

  • Battery systems can be used to run an important appliance like a fridge along with a few lights for a 24 – 36 hour period.

We don’t hope for a power outage, but feel confident that in the event of an outage, we will continue to have service to the house.
