Portable Generators and Proper Wattage for Different Appliances<\/h2>\n

Snow. Wind. Ice. Electrical storms. All these elements can wipe out your home\u2019s power for hours or even days. Are you prepared? Don\u2019t be left in the dark. Let Mi-T-M help you prepare for the unexpected.<\/p>\n

Electricity is a commodity most Americans take for granted. But when winter ice storms and spring thunder and lightning storms knock out power, many go into full panic mode.<\/p>\n

If your electricity goes out, questions begin running through your mind: How long will our food last in the refrigerator? How will we stay warm? Where can we hear the news? What if our basement floods? Where can we charge our appliances? How will we cook our meals? Is the water safe to drink? How can we open our automatic garage doors?<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, we can\u2019t control the weather, but we can help you plan ahead and prepare for emergencies<\/a>. Mi-T-M sells a large array of generators that help in tough situations.
