The fair questions

Answered before you ask

Why not trust my utility's reliability numbers?

A utility's claims are its own summary. This report shows recorded outage hours for your county, and each figure names its source.

Is this just a way to sell me a generator?

No. We sell only the record, and we don't sell or recommend equipment. What the hours mean for your home is your call.

What if my county has no data?

You're refunded in full, automatically, the moment the report comes back empty. Nobody has to review it and you don't have to ask.
