Plug In When Power Goes Out

We are more electric and electronic today than even a decade ago. In addition to furnaces, lights, well water pumps, refrigerators and freezers, today all hell can break loose when valuable electronics go dead: Phones, computers, and other valuable communications and controllers all need electricity…even when power goes out.

Time was, when an ice storm or other weather event took out power, the only option was to fire up a portable generator—and in many cases it still is. But now we add in solar power, wind generation, battery backups, and inverter generators, making it a whole new ballgame.

Bottom line, there are more choices for plug-in power when and where you need it. And now they are quieter, safer to be around, and more efficient than ever.
