It’s that time again, time to gear up for another winter here in Waterloo. By now the pool should be closed up for the year, gutters cleaned out and trees trimmed back away from the roofline in order to reduce the risk of branches falling under the weight of snow. So you have taken care of the things on your to-do list, in preparation for winter, as a diligent homeowner should.

However, is this going to be another winter that you fail to address the most important thing that you need – a home generator? In the event of power loss during a winter storm, a generator not only provides the comfort that you are accustomed to, but it could also be a lifesaver. Stop taking risks with the health and well-being of yourself and your loved ones.

How This Can Help You

Simply put, a home generator sits quietly in wait, ready to spring into action the moment there is a disruption in the power supply to your home. While this is a vital piece of machinery to have all year long, it can be even more essential during winter months for a few various reasons.

Above all else, your main goal during the worst winter weather is to have a backup way to keep a resource for heat. Lose that and there are not enough coats and blankets in your home to keep all of your family comfortable, warm, and safe. If you can see your own breath inside your home you are taking an unnecessary gamble with the well-being of your family.

Of course, it is of the utmost importance that you have a way to continue to power any in-home medical equipment you or a loved one may need, such as an oxygen machine. Not only is the loss of power concern, the fact that snow could make it impossible for anyone in your household to get to a hospital, or even for emergency personnel to reach you, means you need to be self-sufficient.

Being able to maintain power to your home also means that you will not lose everything you have stored in your freezer and refrigerator. Having to throw out all your cold or frozen stocked foods as a result of power loss can be financially devastating. Keep that power on and not only save your food, but have a way to continue to cook it, and watch a movie while eating it.
