April - 2011

  • Did you have to stay at a hotel with the family because of worries about the kids or health requirements of an elderly member?
  • Did you lose a refrigerator and/or freezer full of food?
  • Did it close down your home business?
  • Did you freeze or roast in your home?
  • Did you go through mountains of batteries?
  • Did you find reading old magazines by candlelight a bit hard on the eyes?

If you can't see yourself going through another power outage without power backup it's definitely time to look into a generator for your home.
