Your power company can turn off power according to the rules set up in your state, so you need to review what they are. If you think your power may be cut off, you need to talk with your power company and find out what you migyht be able to work out with them.

Your utility may accept a letter from the Doc which documents your use of Medical Equipment in the home. It usually does little to help expedite service in the event of a power interruption though. Even with a good payment history, how can it? Like IF a tree falls in the neighborhood during a bad storm? To do so would push others behind the line that starts with You. In this event, you want neighbors to be inspired and come check on you - not them angrily throwing stones!

With today's technology and changes in the Energy market, an outdoor electric generator, 🌞 Solar power or a Backup storage pack is the best Plan B. Even if you never wish to buy a Tesla EV to drive around town.
be Well.
