Generators for Emergency Power?

If you live in an area that has frequent power outages due to
the weather, you may wish to consider power generators as a way to
get electricity in your home when the power is out. These
generators are not only useful for power outages. They can also be
used to give power to tools or other items outside of the home that
are too far away for an extension cord.

What is a bunchie?
If I live in an area that loses power a lot in the winter, would it be worthwhile to look into standby generators?

Whether you should purchase a generator depends on your needs.
If you have only adults in the house, you are probably accustomed
to power outages in the winter. If you have small kids, having a
stand-by power source may come in handy. The good thing about power
outages in the winter is that food (freezer) can be stored outside
to prevent loss. If you have an alternate source of heat
(fireplace, stove) and are prepared for outages (food, water, etc.)
you might not need a generator. The decision is one that you have
to weigh on your own.
