The Hurricane Season – and your peace of mind ! There is an alternative source of electricity, powered by Natural Gas, which allows you and your family to ride out a storm in comfort and security. Hurricane Rita left over 1,000,000 customers without power in its aftermath. Some rural areas remained without power for days and even weeks. Hurricane Claudette in 2003 left Palacios without power for 4 to 5 days. Keep in mind that both homes AND businesses were left without power from these events – no gasoline pumps worked, no ice was available, and no perishables were available in many areas.

Imagine: NOW Imagine:
  • No air conditioning
  • Refrigerator off, food spoiling, no ice!
  • Well pump stops working
  • No lights
  • Television and computer off, no news
  • Mold growing
  • Power tools don’t operate
  • Air conditioning functions normally
  • Refrigerator on, making ice!
  • Well pump operating normally
  • Lights on
  • TV and computer on, tracking the storm
  • The house is cool, dehumidified
  • Power tools ready to go to work to repair damage

It’s YOUR choice!
