3 Important Reasons To Have a Power Back up

Congratulations. The spring’s deluge of rain has convinced you of the necessity of a power back up. The question is what do you choose? Often people will just go with a battery backup so you can safely shut down all of your electronics.
Sometimes however you need to think about what else you need when the power goes off. Have you done an audit lately? You may be surprised when you do figure out what’s an essential service in your home.
1. Freezer – Often a refrigerator or freezer will last awhile if you aren’t opening and closing them often. Over time however, your ice cream starts to look a little gooey.
2. Sump pump – Do you own one of those houses that need constant power so it doesn’t fill up with water?
3. Furnace – We may not want to think about it in the middle of the summer, but sometimes you may need the pilot light to be on to make sure your furnace will start up, not to mention the fan.
Doing an audit is something easy. Ask yourself as you tour your home what’s necessary when the neighbourhood goes dark.
