If you heat your house with natural gas, this simple, and very inexpensive solution to winter power outages (as little as $200) may some day save your life! 

Few people realize they can still have heat and normal functioning of their natural gas furnace, even when the electric power goes off, for almost nothing! 

Consider: Outside temperatures are at zero with windchill factors of -17 below zero, and snow piling up. The power goes out and stays out. You try to wait it out only to have the water pipes between two inside walls and the outside wall freeze, burst, and eventually (when heat returns) thaw. You  discover this when water starts appearing everywhere, costing tens of thousands of dollars in property damage and repair costs. (Running a light stream of water thru faucets doesn’t always work)

Two miles away, barely able to sleep in the cold and eventually catching pneumonia, Uncle Bob faces lost work. Meanwhile your senior neighbor next door, tries to use the oven to stay warm, and is later found dead, a victim of carbon monixide poisoning. 

Someone across town burns his house down and all personal possessions with it, while trying to use candles for heat.

Alternate outcome: For you, your wife and kids, and your mother-in-law, its life as usual. A nice warm home with the furnace cycling off and on and keeping you comfortable in complete safety while you wait for the storm to end. You invite the neighbor over to stay warm and open up your guest room, and she doesn’t freeze to death.

Total cost for your enjoyment of life-saving central heating with this emergency power setup… if you live in a community that allows the home owner to do this very minor modification can be as little as $200. Be sure to check on your local code. Possible variances include a requirement to have your work inspected, or a requirement to have an electrician do the work, or a requirement for specific hardware. This would add slightly to your cost. 

Here is a diagram of how it works:

Using an auto battery and an inverter you have no fumes and a setup that is safe to use inside. Depending on battery selected, you can run your furnace for about one or two days, or if you charge the battery by either using your car or solar, you could last indefinitely. 2000 watt inverters can be purchased for less than $150.

A Note About the Video: It was created for free by Artificial Intelligence! I originally created this content as a written article for social media distribution. AI read the article and produced the video, including the audio, with just a couple of clicks in a few minutes!

Recently I have developed a keen interest in many different forms of AI, and now, I am completely hooked! For example, I uploaded my article (there is a link above to the text version) and the AI, in this case Pictory AI, did virtually everything on its own.

I had a choice of male/female voices with a wide range of accents and a music library of tens of thousands of songs. The entire process was fun, rapid, and free! I would encourage anyone to learn about this amazing, easy to use, technology. To learn more, you can sign up for a free account, the exact same setup I used for the video you just watched. In fact, after I made the video, I signed up for an affiliate agreement

I would encourage you to try out the free account, and if you decide to upgrade to a paid account I will receive some credit, so it’s a win/win! Here’s the link:
