Storm Season Checklist: 7 Steps to Be Backup-Ready

Before the Storm Hits

1. Test your generator. Run it under load for 15 minutes and confirm it starts automatically.
2. Check your fuel. Confirm gas supply or top off your propane tank.
3. Clear the area. Keep the generator pad free of leaves, snow, and debris.
4. Review your transfer switch. Make sure it's set to automatic.
5. Charge backup batteries. Flashlights, phones, and medical devices.
6. Stock essentials. Water, non-perishables, and any medications.

Why It Matters

A standby generator that hasn't been serviced can fail exactly when you need it most. A quick seasonal check takes minutes and gives you peace of mind all season long.
