Cost is not only monetary cost
A homeowner has more to worry about than the simple inconveniences of an extended severe weather-related power outage. Loss of power can be costly and compromise the safety of the home. Moore Power can provide a Generac standby generator providing a homeowner the opportunity to eliminate the threat of losing power to the home and reduce the following potentially harmful effects of an extended power outage.
– Loss of lighting – With no warning, homeowners can be without lights. The overuse of candles in the home can increase the threat of a fire, threatening the lives of the family inside.
– Disabled security system – The peace-of-mind of a security system, especially when the power is out in the neighborhood, is a priority for most. Without power, the safety of the family and the home are compromised.
– Loss of heat – Due to extreme temperatures, pipes can freeze and potentially burst, leaving a family without heat and water.
– Loss of use of household appliances – When the refrigerator and/or freezer in the home loses power, food spoils, costing money and leaving behind rotten smells. One will also be unable to prepare meals for the family when the stove and oven have no power.
– Loss of air conditioning – In the hotter months, the loss of air conditioning in the home can be very dangerous and potentially life-threatening. The same is true in the winter for homes heated by electric power – hypothermia is a life-threatening condition that occurs during severely cold temperatures.
– Loss of an operating sump pump – Without a working sump pump, the basement can flood making for a very costly clean up.
– Loss of television and electric radios – Without access to the local news, homeowners will be unaware of emergency evacuation plans or more severe weather heading their way.
