The generator is a necessity
When I was living down south for several years our power went out all of the time.
- I was in a rural space that had seriously overworked power lines plus transformers.
It seemed like all of us had blackouts at least once a week, some maintaining for as long as two or more seconds. Since it was in the south, the worst things all of us had to regularly worry about with a loss of power were our refrigerators getting sizzling plus the compete lack of indoor air conditioning. It was also frustrating if I was busy now working in our little house office plus had to drop everything for indefinite chunks of time until the stupid power supplier could get energy restored again to the grid. Now that I live up north, though, power outages are a dire problem in chilly un-even temperatures. The water lines in your plumbing are consistently full. Since water expands as it freezes, these PVC pipes can burst rapidly with enough pressure. Once that happens water blasts out at full speed plus floods the areas of your beach house. That’s why all of us keep a storm generator to power the central furnace if the electricity ever goes out. Thankfully all of us didn’t have to use the storm generator more than four times last Winter season plus I’m praying for the same outlook during next Winter season. It’s super stressful when the power goes out when it’s that freezing outside, even if you have a storm generator.
