Presenting on Backup Power to the Montie Beach Civic Club

The evening of Thursday, September 12th I will be giving my presentation on an Affordable Approach to Whole Home Backup Power to a meeting of the Montie Beach Civic Club. This is the fourth time giving this presentation this summer, and most likely the last.

Each time I give it the slides change a little to reflect the time and place. Also to add little things that I’ve learned  along the way. This time I’ve added the following image which reflects the reality that we are currently in the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season.

Hurricane Season

This week Houston had a near miss with Hurricane Francine. Initially moving toward the Texas gulf coast, it veered northeast toward the Louisiana coast. Nonetheless, it serves as a reminder that we need to be prepared for those events that impact the city. We’ve already suffered a number of days of power outage this year, the result of the derecho and Hurricane Beryl.

In truth, much of the reason for this post is to give me a place to put a link to download the slides as a PDF. That way I can have a URL to be the target of a QR code contained in the slide deck.

Whole Home Backup Power: An Affordable Strategy v3

The evening of Tuesday, August 20th was the third time I’ve delivered my presentation on An Affordable Approach to Whole Home Backup Power. This time it was to  a meeting of the members of the Woodland Heights Civic Association. The meeting was held in the library at Travis Elementary School, which is quite literally across the street from our home.

The meeting was well attended. Actually, better than I was expecting. The WHCA business portion of the meeting went a little longer than expected, so my presentation was delivered swiftly. Even so, the presentation seemed to be well received.

This presentation is specifically for those who, for whatever reason, don’t want to invest the $15K necessary for an installed standby generator from the likes of Briggs & Stratton, Cummins, Generac or Kohler.
