Electrician in Lexington MA for Winter Prep

Electrician in Lexington MA for Winter Prep

The Farmer's Almanac predicts that Lexington, MA and the surrounding area will most likely see the first snow and / or icy rain by the end of November.  The first half of Winter will bring more ice this year.  With that being said, do you feel you're ready for Winter? Do you have a back up generator or some form of back up power?

Yes, Fall is a beautiful season.  Yes, we know it's not Thanksgiving yet.  But, you can never prepare too soon.  With a recent nor'easter hitting New England, we can all be thankful that it's just rain.  If it were 10 degrees cooler, it would be an icy mess.  How about 5 degrees more, and you have a Winter mess.

All Ice Matters.

Why are these predictions so significant then?  Ice is actually more damaging to trees and houses than snow or even heavy snow itself.  However, if conditions begin as more icy and then intensifies as heavy snow, this becomes a recipe for disaster.  You'll see more slip and falls, trees becoming more rigid and therefore snapping, collapsing and / or falling, which means the inevitable of losing electrical power.

How Modern Electric Can Help You

Thankfully, there are many solutions to these problems that can be properly planned and budgeted. For preventing slips and falls, salt may not be enough if you can't see where you're going.  That's why this problem could be solved if you install driveway safety lighting.  If you already have some lighting at your driveway and you still can't see where you're going, then please contact us so that we can better design and / or upgrade your set up.

If you are handicapped, disabled, or have other impairments and Winter just makes it worse, there are many products that make life easier for you. You can find out by reading one of our prior articles here. For more information, you can visit our website here and see why we're one of "Boston's Best Electricians for 2018."

If the power from the grid goes out, you don't have to be left in the dark!  Maybe you don't want to handle a generator.  That's totally fine!  We can set up a system so that a back up generator automatically kicks in right when the power goes out.  We can also set it up so that it "disappears" within your landscape and is safely away from high traffic areas.

By doing even one of these electrical projects, you'll be enjoying the Winter weather in Lexington, MA.
