The ceiling and electric fans certainly don’t work either during such times, now do they? You may think to yourself, why don’t you use a generator? Well, that’s because I can’t afford one
Hurricanes can be a real pain in the butt. Thankfully, how violent the season will end up being is often over-forecasted. Every now and then though, you have a storm that ends up being pretty powerful and rolls right up and bashes my hometown hard. I don’t really worry about any major structural damage, because my home is largely made of concrete. I don’t worry about not being able to travel around my town due to flooding or any other hurricane-related hazard, because I already stay home most of the time anyway. It’s losing electricity that I can’t stand! Specifically, I dread losing my climate control system. A cool house is extremely necessary for me to sleep well. Unfortunately, hurricanes don’t have a tendency to come around in the cold months. This means that when my power gets knocked out, I know I’ll have to try and sleep with no air conditioning, which is almost impossible for me. The ceiling and electric fans certainly don’t work either during such times, now do they? You may think to yourself, why don’t you use a generator? Well, that’s because I can’t afford one. Any generator that will be large enough to power my HVAC system will cost several thousand dollars that I don’t have on hand. Maybe I’d be able to afford a generator if I didn’t spend so much money on my energy bill. However, I really love climate control! If there’s a chance that I won’t be able to use my air conditioner one or two weeks out of the year because of potential hurricanes, you can be sure that I’m going to take full advantage of it the rest of the year!
