Our house was warm and toasty and well lit, unlike anyone else’s house in the neighborhood
Last summer when we were having a lot of power outages in our area, my husband and I decided that we were going to buy one of those big generators for the whole house. We had it installed, and we didn’t have to go without air conditioning again throughout the whole summer. That was a huge plus because we hate being without air conditioning for any length of time at all. However, now that it’s winter and the temperatures around here are freezing cold, we have realized that having a generator is not good only for the summer time! While we were the most popular people in the neighborhood during the summer because of the air conditioning situation, we were even more popular during the winter because our heating system was the only one working in the neighborhood. We had a big power outage and it was really cold here. I think that the temperatures outside were probably in the twenties, and no one had any heat at their houses. Unless you had a wood burning stove or a fireplace, you were completely out of luck. Well, except for us, that is. We had our generator and so our furnace worked perfectly. Our house was warm and toasty and well lit, unlike anyone else’s house in the neighborhood. Everyone wanted to come over to our house to hang out with us because our house was the only warm one in the area. I have to say that buying this big generator system was one of the best things that we have ever done for our house.
