During a power outage, check your home’s electrical panel for tripped breakers and report any outages to your utility provider. If you use a backup generator, follow all manufacturer safety instructions and never operate a generator indoors, in a garage, or near windows or vents.
Portable propane generators should always be used outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from snow, standing water, and anything flammable. Before starting your generator, make sure it’s properly connected and fueled, and never attempt to refuel while the unit is running or still hot.
A permanently installed whole-home generator can provide added peace of mind during severe New England weather by automatically restoring power to essential systems like heating, hot water, refrigeration, and medical equipment.
