Solar Batteries
Comfortable Quiet Operation - No Refueling Required - 30% Federal Tax Credit Available
Solar Batteries are designed to start saving you money from the moment they're turned on. This is because they're not just running in the event of a power outage they're running all the time when needed. They also lower your electric bill because you're not drawing power from your utility company when you're using your battery.
The bigger the battery the more hours of usage you have.
When the Sun rises your Solar Panels start running your home again. When your Batteries sense there's not enough sunlight available they turn on again to give you the difference in power required run your home.
HVAC Management and Energy Efficiency is the key to extended hours of battery operation.
HVAC Systems require a lot of continuous power to run them.
Consult with a professional.
Fixed Natural Gas Generators
Continuous Power - Loud - Maintenance Required - Charges From Your Natural Gas Company
Fixed Generators provide continuous power normally about 4 days or 96 hours.
When you connect a Fixed Generator you don't recoup your investment because they only cut on in the event of a power outage. However, you don't have to run back and forth to the gas station or change propane tanks when they operate of a continuous flow of natural gas. You have to be prepared for a larger Natural Gas Bill at the end of the month depending on how long it ran.
Oil changes must be performed every 50 - 200 Hours of operation depending on size.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is a valid concern with Generators so the must be placed a safe distance away from your home.
Portable Generators
Temporary Power - Loud - Refueling & Oli Changes Required - Least Expensive Option
Portable Generators are excellent to solve a temporary problem in the event of a power outage. They're mobile but must be placed at least 20 Feet away from your home to protect your family from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning. You have to continuously refuel them with Gasoline, Propane or both.
Oil changes must be performed every 50 - 200 Hours of operation depending on size.
Some people try to use them to back feed their Electric Panel which we Highly Do Not Recommend.
There are so many dangers with doing this up to electrocuting a lineman working on a power line trying to restore power in your area. You absolutely do not want that problem. It's not worth it.
Consider a Fixed Generator or Solar Battery. The choice is yours.
How Home Owners Insurance Claims Work
Your Insurance Adjuster will come out to asses your damages but you won't receive a dollar amount at that time.
The pictures taken will be given to a Desk Adjuster that will call and communicate the dollar amount associated with your claim minus your Deductible.
How Deductibles Work?
A Named Storm = up to 5% of your policy amount for most Insurance Carriers.
If your Policy Amount is $150,000 your 5% Deductible will be $7,500
Roofing Claim Example:
$9,700 Claim - $7,500 Deductible = A $2.200 check to fix your $9,700 dollar roof.
It's not unfair, It's just how it works. You have Auto Insurance Deductibles for your car remember?
When the deductible is removed the difference is yours.
Insurance Companies are heavily regulated and will work on your behalf to make you whole.
Always consult with your carrier. They have the final say.
This is just an example to help explain how it works.
