Weather, Power Outages, and Your Heating System: Be Prepared

​Minnesota storms can knock out power for hours — or days. So what happens to your heat?

Common issues during outages:

• Furnace won’t run without power
• Risk of frozen pipes
• Thermostats lose programming or backup battery fails

How to prepare:

• Invest in a backup generator (portable or whole-home)
• Use surge protectors on your HVAC system
• Ask your tech about manual thermostat options

Don't let the next storm catch you off guard.
