While they are a year-round occurrence, blackouts may be more common during the winter months due to freezing temperatures, snow and ice storms, and a higher rate of car accidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you the power goes out in your home this winter, don\u2019t panic. Just keep calm and follow these tips from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cannondalegenerators.com\/\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannondale Generators<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><br \/>Stock up on supplies.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having the right supplies on hand could be the difference between a relatively smooth experience and a disaster. Any good power outage preparation kid should include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Battery-operated radio<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At least one flashlight per family member<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plenty of extra batteries<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-perishable food<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First aid supplies<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Take a shower and dress warm.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Power outages during the winter bring the extra challenge of staying warm. While some heating systems can continue to operate without electricity, many will shut down. If this happens to you, dress warmly and make sure to cover your head and hands \u2013 two areas where the body loses a majority of its heat. If you need to, take a hot shower to warm yourself up.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><br \/>Do NOT use outdoor heating devices.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wood stoves and fireplaces are a safe source of heat when the power goes out. However, <\/span><b>DO NOT<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, under any circumstance, use outdoor heating equipment to warm your home. Devices such as kerosene heaters and BBQ grills emit carbon monoxide \u2013 a colorless, odorless gas which can be fatal in high doses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><br \/>Invest in a standby generator.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the old adage says, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Stop power outages in their tracks by equipping your home with a standby generator. These devices can automatically detect blackouts, and power on within seconds to provide your home with enough energy to run your lights, appliances, and electronics. No matter what the weather is like outside, your home won\u2019t miss a beat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cannondalegenerators.com\/\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannondale Generators<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offers professional standby generator sales, installations, and maintenance services to homes and businesses across Fairfield County, CT.
