Last month we had storm after storm it seemed and we ended up losing power on three different occasions.
Between trees coming down and lighting strikes at power stations the utility companies have really been working overtime to try and keep up.
I don’t envy the linemen that have to work under those conditions. On a personal level I can’t say that I am happy about the infrastructure going down so frequently though. The local companies have failed to maintain the system over the years and now the equipment is just not able to handle the strain of the winds and other conditions. This leaves people like myself without power, disturbs our lives and makes for very uncomfortable waiting. In many cases the outages lasted for days and that meant no lights or air conditioning. During the heat of summer that is the last thing you want to experience. The constant rain only goes to add humidity to the air too. Overall it is just miserable and I have decided to contact my local HVAC dealer to do something about it. They are running a special through the end of the month that gives me a ten percent discount on the unit itself and an extended warranty. This savings will help but I think I would have it installed even if that wasn’t available. I just want the peace of mind that my HVAC system will continue running no matter what is going on with the energy company. It makes me feel better that my trusted HVAC dealer will be the one doing the installation too. I have done business with them for years and they have always been great about maintaining my system at home.
