How much do you really depend on electricity?
Most everyone takes this abundant resource for granted until the power goes out and there is no heat, no well or septic system, no refrigerator, or no lights for the home office. If you don't have a backup power system when the power goes out, you are exposing yourself to bigger problems. A Kohler Residential Back-Up Generator starts automatically within seconds after a power outage. This system provides convenience and peace of mind as it is fully automatic and continues to provide protection even when you are not home.
All homes rely on electricity to operate different systems that you depend on for health, safety and comfort. Losing lights can be an inconvenience and a danger, but homeowners with a well and septic system know that losing the ability to have water is a very different, undesirable aspect of living. Water wells need power to pump water to sinks, showers, and toilets, and septic systems are equipped with timers and alarms that must be kept operable in order to pump sanitation. Some gas hot water heaters require a power vent to disperse harmful carbon monoxide emissions and will not operate without it.
Many power outages occur during spring and summer thunderstorms, which means rain, and sometimes lots of it. If the power is out, no sump pump could mean a flooded basement. On the other hand, if the outage occurs during a winter snow storm, the gas furnace will not work without the electric fan and that means no heat to you or your network of water piping.
Several families have elderly family members living at home. Some of those are in need of consistent electrical power for their medical well being. Oxygen machines, air purifiers/cleaners, and air conditioning are all dependent on clean, stable electrical power to operate properly.
The US Census 2002 states that approximately 22% of working American's work from their home. Loss of productivity is not just bothersome, it can mean tangible losses to your income. Can you afford to not work during a power outage?
