Stay Cool and Protected: How to Prepare Your Home for Heat Waves and Power Outages
When temperatures soar and power grids are under strain, summer heat waves can lead to sudden and prolonged outages. With air conditioners running around the clock and utility usage spiking, it’s not uncommon for homes in New Jersey and Pennsylvania to lose power right when you need it most.
At Binsky Home, we want to make sure your family stays safe, cool, and comfortable—even when the power goes out.
Why Heat Waves Lead to Power Outages
Extreme heat puts added pressure on electrical systems. Air conditioners, fans, and refrigerators work overtime, often causing transformers or circuits to fail. In some cases, utility companies may even schedule rolling blackouts to prevent total grid overload. These outages can last hours—or even days—and put your home at risk for overheating, spoiled food, and more.
The Risks of Going Without Power
During a power outage in the summer, your home’s indoor temperature can rise quickly, especially without airflow or access to cooling systems. This can be especially dangerous for older adults, children, and pets. Plus, you may face:
- Spoiled food due to refrigeration loss
- Non-working medical equipment
- Wi-Fi and security system interruption
- Flooding if your sump pump is inoperable
