Storm Watch…Middlesex County, NJ

This weekend has been a busy and stressful time for many of our customers We have received several emergency calls from our existing customers who were in need of sump pump battery back-ups, generators, and panel repairs. Our service technicians have been working extra hard to take care of you and we want to do everything we can to help. Saturday night we were out there cutting trees & clearing roads. Remember, if you have power outages, report them to the utility company and not the townships.

For all of our friends and customers… If you’re using portable generators, PLEASE make sure that you’ve placed the generator OUTSIDE! If it is in the garage, the carbon monoxide will travel into the home – even if the garage door is open. Don’t worry about the generator getting wet – it will be okay.

If you are using a standby generator and may not have gotten regular maintenance, please make sure that your exhaust is unobstructed.

Also – remember, that if you are in Middlesex County, the water contamination is still in effect. Flooding may have caused contamination at a local plant so stock up on bottled water and remember to boil your water for at least 1 minute before consuming it, using it to cook or bake with, or giving it your pets.

Keep your eyes out for an email we will be sending to our loyal customers with some money saving coupons for sump pumps and generators. If you haven’t signed up for our newsletter, do so now! http://www.friendlyelectric.com/electric-news.html
