While we’re working on restoration, here’s what you can do:
- Turn off all the appliances you think were on before your power went out.
- Unplug your electronic equipment, including computers.
- Leave a light or radio on to let you know when you have service again.
- Don’t wire an emergency generator into your home electrical system. Backfeed into power lines could injure or kill a lineman working to get electricity restored.
- Use your generator only to run specific appliances, and locate it outside so poisonous carbon monoxide fumes don’t enter your home.
- Lower the thermostat on all your electric heat sources to an absolute minimum. Once your power comes back on, wait a half hour before you return your thermostat to a normal setting. If your furnace doesn’t kick in, call your heating/ventilation/air conditioning dealer.
