Do you need a backup power source for your home?

During a power outage, a backup power source can keep your lights on and appliances running. If you rely on electric or battery-dependent medical technologies or have medications that require refrigeration, it is particularly important to consider a backup power source. When determining if backup power is right for you, it is important to consider your energy needs and to understand how to use your backup power source correctly and safely.

IF YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE A BACKUP POWER SOURCE FOR YOUR HOME, YOU WILL NEED TO CONSIDER:

A. Your Energy Needs-What are the critical appliances you'll need during an outage? Are you dependent on a medical device or have special heating or cooling needs? Sizing your energy needs is an important first step in choosing the right generator.

B. Fuel Preferences-Gasoline, propane, solar with backup storage? There are many factors to consider when choosing the right type of fuel including accessibility, affordability, environmental concerns and the space available for secure generator storage.

C. Installation Requirements-A permanent standby generator, or rechargeable home battery system should be installed by a qualified professional, such as a licensed contractor. Always consult the owner's manual for instructions on how to operate your source of backup power.

$\"Image$

ALTERNATIVES TO GENERATORS

Portable power stations operate with less noise and fumes than a traditional generator. Rechargeable home battery systems use solar energy, and can automatically provide power to your home within milliseconds of an outage.

BACKUP POWER SAFETY

While a backup power source can be helpful during a power outage, it can also pose safety hazards when not used correctly. Improper use can risk damage to your property, or endanger the lives of you, your family, or PG&E crews who may be working to restore power. The most important safety rule when using a backup power source is to understand and follow all safety instructions provided by the manufacturer.

SOME GENERAL SAFETY TIPS FOR USING BACKUP POWER:

A. Don’t exceed the capacity of your backup power source. Follow the manufacturer’s specifications and consider the power needs of the device you are using.

B.Use only properly sized extension cords between your device and power source to prevent overheating. Home battery systems can remove this risk, as they are directly connected to your electrical system, and do not require power cords.

C. If using a fuel-burning generator, be sure it is positioned with proper ventilation. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal. Never connect any generator (permanently installed or portable) to another power source, including PG&E power lines.

¿Busca el generador de reserva correcto para su hogar? PG&E puede ayudar.

Sin importar si está en busca de baterías confiables para su hogar, estaciones portátiles de energía o electrodomésticos de consumo eficiente de energía, nuestro mercado es el mejor lugar para empezar. Puede leer comentarios de clientes y suscribirse a las alertas de ofertas para asegurarse de obtener el mejor producto visitando el sitio marketplace.pge.com

¿Necesita una fuente de engergía de reserva para su hogar?

Una fuente de energía de reserva puede mantener en funcionamiento las luces y los electrodomésticos de su hogar durante un apagón. Si usted depende de aparatos médicos eléctricos o alimentados por batería, o toma medicamentos que requieren refrigeración, es de vital importancia considerar la adquisición de una fuente de energía de reserva.

Cuando determine si usted necesita una fuente de energía de reserva, es importante considerar sus necesidades de energía y comprender cómo usar su fuente de energía de reserva de forma correcta y segura.

Si decide comprar una fuente de energía de reserva para su hogar, deberá considerar:

Sus necesidades de energía: ¿cuáles son los electrodomésticos más importantes que necesitará durante un apagón? ¿Depende de algún dispositivo médico o tiene necesidades especiales de refrigeración o calefacción? Dimensionar sus necesidades es el primer gran paso para elegir el generador correcto.

Preferencias de combustible: ¿gasolina, propano, energía solar con almacenamiento de reserva?

Existen varios factores que deben tomarse en cuenta a la hora de elegir el tipo de combustible apropiado, incluyendo la accesibilidad, el costo, el impacto medioambiental y el espacio disponible para el almacenamiento seguro del generador.

Requisitos de instalación: Los generadores permanentes de reserva o los sistemas de baterías recargables para el hogar deberán ser instalados por un profesional calificado, por ejemplo, un contratista eléctrico certificado. Siempre consulte el manual del propietario para obtener instrucciones sobre cómo operar su fuente de energía de reserva.

$\"Ícono$

Las estaciones portátiles de energía y de funcionamiento por batería operan con menor ruido y menor emanación de humo que los generadores tradicionales. También pueden usarse en interiores. Los sistemas de baterías para el hogar recargables utilizan la energía solar y pueden proporcionar energía a su hogar de forma automática a los pocos segundos de producirse un apagón.

$\"Illustrated$

Mientras que una fuente de energía de reserva puede ser útil durante un apagón, también puede suponer algunos peligros de seguridad si no se usa correctamente. El uso incorrecto de un generador o fuente de energía portátil puede suponer un riesgo de daños a su propiedad, o poner en peligro su vida, la de su familia o la de la cuadrilla de trabajos de PG&E mientras trabajan para restablecer la energía.

La regla de seguridad más importante que debe tener en consideración al usar la fuente de energía de reserva es comprender y seguir todas las instrucciones de seguridad que proporcione el fabricante.

continuación, detallamos algunos consejos generales sobre seguridad al usar energía de reserva:

No sobrepase la capacidad nominal de su fuente de energía de reserva. Siga las especificaciones del fabricante y considere el consumo de energía de los dispositivos que va a usar.

Use cables de extensión de tamaño correcto entre el dispositivo y la fuente de energía para evitar el sobrecalentamiento. Los sistemas de baterías para el hogar pueden eliminar este riesgo ya que están conectadas directamente a su sistema eléctrico y no requieren cables eléctricos.

Si va a usar un generador de combustión, asegúrese de colocarlo en un área bien ventilada. El monóxido de carbono puede ocasionar la muerte.

Nunca conecte un generador (portátil o instalado de forma permanente) a otra fuente de energía, incluyendo a las líneas eléctricas de PG&E.

$\"有備用電源的房屋插圖\"$

斷電時，備用電源可以讓電燈持續點亮且電器可正常運作。

如果您需要依賴電力或使用需要電池的醫療技術，或者有需要冷藏的藥物，則考慮使用備用電源將特別重要。

在確定備用電源是否適合時，您一定要考慮能源需求並了解如何正確、安全地使用備用電源，這點很重要

如果您決定購買備用電源作為家用，您必須考慮：

您的能源需求 - 在停電期間，您需要使用哪些關鍵設備？

您仰賴醫療裝置或有特別的暖氣或冷氣需求嗎？

在選擇合適的發電機時，評估您的能源需求是重要的第一步。

燃料偏好 - 汽油、瓦斯桶、配有備用儲存裝置的太陽能？

在選擇適合的燃料類型時，需要考慮許多因素，包括可取得性、可負擔性、環境問題和安全存放發電機的空間。

安裝要求 - 固定備用發電機或充電式家用電池系統應僅由合格的專業人員安裝，例如有執照的承包商。請務必參閱使用說明書中的指示，了解如何操作您的備用電源。

$\"收音機的插圖圖示\"$

發電機的替代選項

與傳統發電機相比，可攜式發電站和電池技術的操作會發出較少噪音和煙霧。

這類發電機可放在室內使用。

$\"注意符號的插圖圖示\"$

備用電力安全

雖然備用電源在停電時有用，但如果使用不當也會造成安全隱憂。

不正確使用發電機或可攜式電源，可能會對您的財產造成損壞，或可能會危及您和您的家人，或可能會對正在恢復供電的 PG&E 人員造成性命危險。

使用備用電源時，最重要的安全規則是了解和遵守製造商提供的所有安全指示。

一些使用備用電源的一般安全提示：

不要使用超出備用電源的容量。遵守製造商的規格，並考慮您所用設備的電源需求。

設備和電源之間只使用適當尺寸的延長線，以防止過熱。不要讓電線跑到人多繁忙的地方，以免有絆倒的危險；同時，也不要讓電線跑到塊毯或地毯下，以防忽視了電線損壞的情形。

如果使用燃料發電機，請確保將發電機放在有適當通風的位置。一氧化碳中毒可能會致命。

絕不要將發電機 (固定安裝或可攜式) 連接到另一個電源，包括 PG&E 電線。
