Storm preparedness is important to keeping your family safe in the event of a disaster

As major weather events have rocked the Greater Seattle area, many homeowners are evaluating their emergency plans and finding ways to keep their families safe in the case of an emergency. Storm preparedness will bring you peace of mind and improve your response when a storm approaches. Discover how creating a plan, making a disaster kit, and installing a backup generator will help you prepare for storms in Kirkland and the surrounding areas.

Gain peace of mind with a system that powers your home in the event of an emergency

In the winter of 2021, millions of people in Texas were left without access to electricity when the electric grid operator lost control of the power supply. Without power, homeowners were left with no way to communicate, keep themselves warm, or cook for several days. Generators quickly sold out, and for months afterward, the demand meant that buyers would not be able to receive their order until next year.

While the Washington power grid is not as vulnerable, it is still a lesson that it is better to prepare for an emergency before it happens. If the power were ever to go out due to extreme weather or another catastrophe, give your family peace of mind by having a generator on hand to run important systems like the furnace, refrigerator, and security system.
