Every year my family and I have to go through the summer wondering if we are going to have a hurricane or a tropical storm.
Tropical storms and hurricanes cannot be avoided when you live in this part of the country.
During the summer months there is often tropical activity. Last year we had two hurricanes in one month. The power was out for several days and we lost $200 worth of food that my wife had purchased the previous day. We did not anticipate that this one would take a turn and head right in our direction. After the storm was over, I thought about the power going out frequently and I decided to contact a company to install a generator that would run our air conditioning system and the refrigerator. I spoke with an HVAC contractor and we worked out all of the details. A week later, the company came to install the generator. It was a pretty big process to make sure that everything was hooked up correctly, but now we have a generator that can easily run the heating and AC system along with the refrigerator and the rain. All of the appliances are wired directly into the system so the generator kicks on as soon as the power goes out. Even if the power goes out for 90 seconds, the generator will still come on. I am very happy with the generator and next summer I don’t think we will have any problems like the ones that we did last year. We are going to be prepared.
