Prepare for Power Outages:

 

Develop a Disaster Preparedness Plan:

​

  • Designate a secure location in case of a storm.

  • Establish a meeting point for your family if separated during a storm.

  • Assign a trusted friend from a different location as a family contact in case of separation.


Understand Weather Alerts:

​

  • A "watch" indicates developing conditions for potentially severe weather within 36 hours in a specific area.

  • A "warning" signifies reported severe weather conditions expected within 24 hours in a specific area.


Identify Risks and Protect Your Home:

 

  • Remove outdoor objects that could be airborne in high winds or severe storms.

  • Trim or remove weak trees and branches.

  • Ensure clear gutters, window wells, and drains to reduce flood risk.

  • Cover openings like windows, doors, and vents.


Ensure Backup Power:  

 

  • Have essential supplies like lighting and food for power outages.

  • Consider a home backup generator from Honeywell for peace of mind after a storm.

What Size Will I Need?

The kilowatt (kW) rating of a generator depends on several factors, including the electrical load you intend to power, the starting requirements of your devices or appliances, and whether you're looking for a standby generator for backup power or a portable generator for occasional use.

Generator Maintenance

The first and most important step is to refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific maintenance schedules and procedures.  While you can perform many maintenance tasks yourself, it's advisable to have a professional generator service technician inspect the unit annually or semi-annually.
