subject: GENERATORS CAN SAVE HOMEOWNERS THOUSANDS [print this page] As huge storms rumble through parts of southeast Michigan leaving in their path thousands of people without power, Flame Heating & Cooling has a solution to the headache of living by candlelight.
As relaxing as the ambiance of candlelight can be, a power outage lasting more than a little bit of time could mean an unnecessary expense for a household.
Food (estimated loss: $500-800). If you have a stocked refrigerator or freezer, perhaps even two you could lose all of your food it if it spoils.
Computer (estimated loss: around $1,000 and hours of your time). A power outage could cause you to lose data and documents on your computer. These could be vital to your job, or they could be the product of hours of hard work. Also, a power surge can occur when the power comes back on and these can fry out your computer.
Flooding (estimated loss: $500- $3,000 and memories). If your basement is prone to flooding, you probably have a Sump Pump. However, if it fails due to a power outage during a storm, you may have a problem-especially if your sump pump does not have a battery back-up. A basement flood could ruin furniture, pictures, laundry appliances, televisions, stereos, pool tables etc.
One way to avoid this unexpected cost is by investing in an Automatic Stand-by Generator. These are installed right near your house, and automatically switch on just a few seconds after the power goes out. They can help save you all the economic loss and distress mentioned above as well as give you peace of mind. Another plus? These generators run very quietly.
