Winter Ready FAQ
What size generator do I need for an outage?
Add up the running watts of everything you must power at once, then add the highest starting watts of any single motor, such as a furnace blower or well pump. Choose a generator rated above that total.
Can I run a portable generator indoors or in a garage?
No. Portable generators produce carbon monoxide. Run them outdoors, well away from doors, windows, and vents, and use a carbon monoxide alarm inside.
Will a cordless snow blower handle my driveway?
Cordless single-stage blowers handle light to moderate snow on typical driveways and walks. Deep, wet snow takes more passes and more battery.
