From melting food in the fridge, to no running water or lights, power outages can make life miserable.  When an outage continues for hours or days, things can get very dicey – and you may resolve that your next big purchase will be a generator.  It’s a great way to give yourself peace of mind and comfort when those summer or winter storms strike. Whether you’re interested in a portable generator or an automatic standby generator, there’s a lot to know about capabilities, installation and safety.  Consumer Reports breaks it all down in this very helpful guide.  Don’t let rain, snow or wind keep you in the dark.  Get the best generator for your needs – but do it before the lights go out!
