Generators Are Getting Smarter & They Can Help During a Grid-Down Situation

  • We heavily rely on technology these days to do pretty much everything from communicating with our loved ones to getting to work. Even simple activities such as making your own cup of coffee in the morning require the help of electricity. If we were tasked with living electricity-free for a week, we would have more than a few struggles and frustrations.

    Research has found that there's an increasing likelihood for a grid-down situation to occur, especially in the age of cyber warfare. So, instead of going over the top with prepping for one, we can turn to our standby generator to provide us with the power we need when SHTF. Just as technology has become more advanced so have generators. It's not just about supplementing electricity when our typical power source is down. Instead, this new technology canĀ use our cell phones to communicate with us.

      This one is connected to a gas line… At what point will amgrid down situation lead to no fuel? I have always envisioned a tank type fuel supply

      Many are dual fuel. Propane/NG. Run the NG until it runs out then propane backup. But at some point all will run out. You won’t be able to go refill your tank type supply.
