Prepare Your Home for the 2024 Summer Storm Season

Projections indicate this summer will be one of the heaviest storm seasons on record. At Fox Service Company, we are committed to helping our customers stay safe and prepared. Here are some essential tips to safeguard your home and family during this turbulent season.

Best Practices for Preparing Your Home for Storms 

  • Create an Emergency Plan: Establish a family emergency plan that includes evacuation routes and communication strategies. Keep important documents in a waterproof container. 
  • Stock Up on Supplies. Ensure you have enough non-perishable food, water, and medication to last at least three days. Include a first-aid kit, flashlights, batteries, and a battery-powered radio. 
  • Secure Outdoor Items: Bring patio furniture, grills, and other outdoor items indoors to prevent them from becoming projectiles. Trim trees and bushes to minimize the risk of falling branches. Protect Windows and Doors, and Install storm shutters or use plywood to cover windows and glass doors. 
  • Check Your Roof and Gutters: Inspect your roof for loose shingles or tiles and repair them. Clear gutters and downspouts to prevent water damage. 
  • Install Surge Protectors: Use surge protectors to safeguard your electronic devices from power surges caused by lightning. 
  • Rely on Backup Power Solutions: Consider investing in a home standby generator to ensure you have power during outages. 

Benefits of a Home Standby Generator 

A home standby generator can provide peace of mind and safety during power outages caused by storms. Here are some key benefits:

  • Automatic Activation: Standby generators automatically turn on when the power goes out, ensuring continuous power without any manual intervention. 
  • Power for Essential Appliances: Keep your refrigerator, lights, medical equipment, and other essential appliances running smoothly.

    "They’re the only ones I want to use in the future"

    They’re generous and fair with their warranty service so you don’t have to ask them to do the right thing.

    "I will use them again when I need an electrician."

    They sent an electrician to investigate some strange electrical problems. He identified the problem and resolved it quickly. He was courteous, respectful of my property, and clearly explained the problem he found and how he resolved it. I will use them again when I need an electrician.

    "The guys showed up on time. They were extremely professional."

    The guys showed up on time. They were extremely professional. Their estimate on how long it would take was pretty accurate. I was in video meetings during a lot of their work and they seemed to be extra careful to make less noise when I was on those calls because the people I met with said that they didn't notice them. Overall - great job!

    Jon G.
    "Big time thanks!"

    I’ve used Fox many times over the past 6 years or so. I’ve had a great experience every time. Their staff is knowledgeable and professional, and they’ve always been available in emergency situations. Big time thanks!

    "The absolute worst timing for an electrical issue but am extremely happy with him being able to resolve it in a timely matter."

    Called Fox out for a last-minute electrical issue while I’m in the closing process for selling my condo. Dominic was absolutely amazing, got there after hours at night and fixed it. The absolute worst timing for an electrical issue but am extremely happy with him being able to resolve it in a timely matter.
