Ideas for Using Your Tax Refund for Your Home

Leah Ingram, Cummins Press Release  /  April 19, 2017

Invest in a standby generator

We live in a beach town in New Jersey that was one of the hardest hit during 2012’s Superstorm Sandy. It’s no surprise that nearly every house in our neighborhood has a standby generator. These are the generators that run on natural gas or propane. Unlike portable generators that can be noisy and require manual set-up, running cords and gasoline, standby generators cycle on automatically as soon as the power goes off. Once you’ve lost power for an extended period of time and suffered the inconveniences that come with being powerless, you quickly realize the importance of a standby generator.

Cummins has an online quiz you can take to evaluate your home generator needs. This Cummins quiz helps you determine how much power your home needs to keep running when the power is out and can help you select the right standby generator for you. Take the quiz now at https://homegenerators.cummins.com/

Another reason to use your tax refund to invest in a standby generator–hurricane season is just around the corner. Hurricane Season is officially May 1 through December 1, butyou never know when during the season you could get hit. Remember: Superstorm Sandy happened days before Halloween–and days before the hurricane season would have been officially over.

Realtors tell me that when it comes to selling a home in hurricane-prone states, a standby generator can make your home stand out from others. This makes them more attractive to buyers who are looking for this premium amenity and, dare I say, necessity in a place where power outages come with the weather.

Guy nailed it.  Think of the law firms, accountants, software guys etc that derive their living off of this BS.  Even if  congress tried to get off their ass, would not happen-too many pigs at the trough!
