Things to do during an outage:
- You should turn off electrical equipment when the power goes out. This will help prevent a possible power surge, should your system get overloaded when the electricity is turned back on.
- Surge protectors can help prevent power from damaging voltage-sensitive equipment.
- Keep all refrigerator and freezer doors closed. Food can stay cold in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours if the doors are kept closed after an outage.
- You should turn on a light both inside and outside of the house so crews can tell when the power is turned back on.
