🔌 Power goes out? Your heat doesn’t have to! 🔥
Here’s a cool little upgrade we recently installed that can make a big difference during a winter power outage!
Most homeowners don’t realize that even though their furnace or boiler runs on natural gas, it still needs electricity to operate.
That’s where this handy little generator transfer switch comes in!
⚡ Under normal conditions, your heating system runs on utility power.
🔌 When the power goes out, simply connect a compatible portable generator or large battery power station using an appropriately rated cord.
🔄 Flip the switch to generator power, and your heating system can keep running!
The best part? You don’t need an expensive whole-house generator just to keep your heat on.
A properly sized portable generator or battery power station may be all you need to keep your furnace or boiler operating during an outage.
It’s a relatively simple upgrade that can provide some serious peace of mind during those cold Pittsburgh winters. ❄️
A little preparation now can make a big difference when the power goes out!
