Harsh weather conditions, such as winter storms, hurricanes, and heavy rain, can compromise the reliability of your local power grid. Power outages during extreme weather events can disrupt daily life, impact safety, and threaten comfort. Preparing your home or business with reliable backup power is a crucial step in weathering these storms effectively. This guide outlines key steps you can take to ensure uninterrupted power when you need it most.
Reliable backup power sources come in various forms, each with unique advantages:
Standby Generators: Permanently installed units that automatically activate during an outage. They can run on natural gas or propane and can power entire homes or businesses.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS): Designed for sensitive electronics, UPS units provide short-term power to computers, routers, and other devices to prevent data loss.
Before investing in backup power, determine which appliances and systems are essential during an outage. Common priorities include:
Calculate the wattage required for these devices to ensure your backup solution can handle the load.
