What to plan for in Lindenhurst
- Winter weather (very high): Winter storms and cold snaps combine outages with heating demand. Plan for the furnace blower or heat pump, not just lights, and keep a fuel supply you can reach in snow.
- Coastal flooding (very high): Coastal flooding means keeping batteries, generators and electrical panels above flood level; ask a licensed electrician about elevating equipment.
- Lightning (very high): Lightning causes short outages and damages electronics. Surge protection and a battery that switches over automatically protect the things you care about.
