**HIGH WINDS. POWER OUTAGES. IS YOUR HOME PREPARED?**

With the high winds we've been experiencing across Alaska, power outages are a reminder of just how quickly we can lose electricity, especially during the winter months.

**WHAT IS A GENERAC STANDBY GENERATOR?**

Unlike a portable generator, a Generac standby system is permanently installed and designed to automatically restore backup power when an outage occurs. No dragging out extension cords or manually starting a generator!

**HOW DOES IT WORK?**

1. Detects an Outage: The system senses when utility power is lost.

2. Starts Automatically: The generator starts using its natural gas or propane fuel supply.

3. Transfers Power Safely: An automatic transfer switch isolates your home from the utility grid and connects it to generator power.

4. Keeps Essentials Running: Depending on the system's capacity, it can power heating equipment, refrigerators, well pumps, lighting, and more.

5. Switches Back Automatically: Once utility power is restored and stable, the system transfers back and shuts the generator down.

**WHY DOES THIS MATTER IN ALASKA?**

When temperatures drop below freezing, losing power isn't just inconvenient. It can mean losing heat, frozen pipes, spoiled food, and costly damage.

A properly sized standby generator can help protect your home and keep essential systems running when the unexpected happens.

The best time to understand your backup power options is BEFORE the next outage.

❄️🏠DID YOU KNOW ICE DAMS OFTEN START INSIDE YOUR HOME?

When you see thick ice building up along your roofline, it's easy to assume Alaska's freezing temperatures are the only cause.

But the real problem often starts inside your attic!

🔥 HERE'S HOW ICE DAMS FORM:

1️⃣ Heat Escapes Into Your Attic.

Warm air from your living space can escape through gaps around light fixtures, attic hatches, plumbing, and other openings. Poor or uneven insulation can also allow heat to transfer into the attic.

2️⃣ Snow Begins Melting on Your Roof.

That escaping heat warms portions of your roof, causing snow to melt even when outside temperatures are below freezing.

3️⃣ Water Refreezes at the Roof's Edge.

As melted snow travels toward the colder eaves, it refreezes, gradually forming a thick ridge of ice.

4️⃣ Water Gets Trapped Behind the Ice.

As more snow melts, water can back up behind the ice dam and seep beneath roofing materials, potentially entering your attic, walls, and ceilings.

⚠️ WHAT CAN ICE DAMS COST YOU?

Ice dams can lead to:

💧 Water-damaged ceilings and drywall

🦠 Mold growth and wood rot

🏚️ Wet or damaged attic insulation

🏠 Roofing and structural repairs

💰 Hundreds or even thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs, depending on the damage.

🛠️ SO HOW DO YOU PREVENT THEM?

The goal is to keep your roof surface consistently cold during freezing weather.

✔️ Air Sealing: Seal gaps that allow warm indoor air to escape into your attic.

✔️ Proper Insulation: Make sure attic insulation is sufficient, evenly distributed, and properly installed.

✔️ Attic Ventilation: Ensure your attic ventilation system is properly designed and unobstructed.

✔️ Address Heat Sources: Check for leaking ductwork, improperly vented exhaust fans, and other sources of unwanted attic heat.

✔️ Roof Snow Management: When necessary, safely remove excess snow near the eaves from the ground using an appropriate roof rake. Never climb onto an icy roof.

💡 HERE'S SOMETHING ELSE TO CONSIDER!

The same heat loss that contributes to ice dams can also increase your heating bills.

And during a winter power outage, a well-insulated, properly air-sealed home may retain warmth longer than a drafty one.

❄️ **THE BOTTOM LINE:**

Removing an ice dam addresses the immediate problem, but it doesn't necessarily fix what caused it.

The best long-term solution often starts INSIDE your home, not on top of your roof!

Those thick ridges of ice forming along your roofline may look like a normal part of an Alaskan winter, but they could be warning you about a much bigger problem.

At **Northern Shields Alaska**, we don't just address the ice. We help homeowners identify conditions that may be contributing to the problem.
