Power Outage Season - Meet Joey the Outage Superman
Last year, we survived 5 days of no power.
We survived by hanging out at the local - Millard Branch of the Omaha Public Library.
The library had power, and provided free mobile phone charging, air conditioning and critically WiFi.
Our business (and livelihood) depends on nearly constant connection to the internet.
The prior year we had a 2 day power outage, that simply forced an early vacation and nightly hotels where electricity was available.
With the 2025 season of heavy weather, and power outages ahead, we were looking around for a better solution.
We had the great fortune of Meeting Joey Gillett - of Assured Electric.
In my experience a gas powered generator, was a small device with a 120vac outlet. If you had an extension cord you could connect a coffee maker.
Nice, but not a solution for a home with air conditioning, electric stove, washer and dryer. Not a power outage solution.
Power Outage Superman Joey smiled and described a generator that had a 3-phase/240v 50am outlet - and a "smart switch" to switch your home breaker box from OPPD to this small generator.
We were stunned, does this work? - Joey explained he had installed several. We asked Joey for a proposal and it was 1/3 of my expectations.
We asked Joey to proceed! In a short time Joey, and his person Nick - installed the "smart switch" under the electric meter on the back of our home.
The smart switch could sense if power was coming from OPPD - if not it will switch our home to the Generator 240v option - and then back to oppd when they were back.
Wow! What a stress reliever!! for the cost of power outage insurance, we have real power outage insurance!
Power outages, not only some from wind and fallen branches. For years there has been concern that our power grid was vulnerable to attack,
if we found ourself at war, and experienced a high altitude EMP or a natural Solar Flare. Both of which could take out the Power Grid for months
I recommend you give Power Outage Superman Joey a call at: 402-594-4515 or visit his website at https://OmahaElectrician.us email him with the contact form.
thanks Joey - Computer John

COME ON OVER!
This is the way country music started out, with acoustic instruments, before electricity. People sat out on the lawn, on the porch, or in a friend’s house and played their instruments together.
Enjoy the originality of music which is still present in many circles of friends.
