Think power outages are just a minor inconvenience? Think again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Power outages are not only a complete disruption to our everyday lives, they are a financial burden. According to <\/span>Kohler Generators<\/span><\/a>, power outages can cost American households up to <\/span>$150 billion<\/b> per year. <\/span>Where does this money go? <\/span><\/p>\n


Consider some of these potential expenses of power outages:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Power outage supplies: $100<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

All those cans of food, gallons of water, flashlights, and batteries can really add up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Food loss: $250 \u2013 $500<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

Most refrigerated food spoils after about four hours without power.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternative shelter: $110 per night<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

Hotels provide a convenient alternative to home if your power goes out \u2013 but they aren\u2019t cheap.<\/span><\/p>\n

Burst or frozen pipes: $10,000<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

If you lose heat in the middle of winter, your pipes are susceptible to freezing and bursting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Flooded basement: $21,000<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

Frozen pipes, inoperable sump pumps, and other power outage problems can lead to flooding in your basement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mold removal: $500 \u2013 $30,000<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

Aforementioned water damage can lead to mold, which is dangerous to the health of your home and family. Depending on the severity of your problem, professional mold removal may cost upwards of $10,000.<\/span><\/p>\n


Invest in a standby generator for your home<\/span><\/h2>\n

The best way to prevent power outages \u2013 and the costs associated with them \u2013 is by investing in a <\/span>standby generator<\/span><\/a> for your home. These devices can automatically detect power outages, and turn on within seconds to provide your home with the energy it needs. Since they connect directly to your gas line, they can produce enough energy to power all of your lights, appliances, heating and cooling systems, and electronic devices!<\/span><\/p>\n
