(OPEN):
THE CLEANUP- AND REPAIR-COSTS THAT RESULT FROM A PROLONGED
POWER-OUTAGE CAN COST HOMEOWNERS MORE THAN IF THEY HAD TAKEN PREEMPTIVE
MEASURES TO PREPARE THEIR HOME FOR HURRICANE-SEASON. THAT'S
ACCORDING TO NEW FIGURES COMPILED BY "G-E GENERATOR SYSTEMS".
SUCH COSTS OFTEN INCLUDE: SPOILED-FOOD REPLACEMENT, BASEMENT- AND
APPLIANCE-REPAIRS, AND EXTENDED HOTEL-STAYS. AMANDA GRANDY
IS WITH "BRIGGS AND STRATTON"--THE EXCLUSIVE-LICENSEE OF
"G-E GENERATOR SYSTEMS"...
(GRANDY):
"A HOMEOWNER
CAN INCUR COSTS FROM A SINGLE, PROLONGED POWER-OUTAGE THAT EQUATE TO
SEVERAL TIMES THAT OF WHAT IT WOULD COST TO INVEST IN THE INSTALLATION
OF A STANDBY-GENERATOR SYSTEM, AHEAD OF HURRICANE-SEASON. A
STANDBY-GENERATOR GIVES FAMILIES PEACE-OF-MIND, AFTER A HURRICANE OR
STRONG STORM. AND, WITH EMERGING TECHNOLOGY ON THE MARKET THAT'S
MAKING BACKUP-POWER MORE AFFORDABLE, THE UNITS CAN QUICKLY PAY FOR
THEMSELVES. INSTALLING A HOME STANDBY-GENERATOR ENSURES THAT THESE
TYPES OF COSTS AREN'T INCURRED EVERY TIME A STORM KNOCKS OUT A HOME'S
POWER."
