Mylar balloons are great indoors and can brighten the bleakest and most dreary winter day. They are great at Valentine’s Day, birthdays, and many other occasions, but keep them inside. When you tire of them, deflate them and throw them away. If you release them outside, they can become trapped on overhead power lines. Mylar balloons conduct electricity very well and can short out circuits in your community’s power system.
Dispose of Mylar Balloons Properly
When your home loses electric service, possibly from a storm, and your family becomes irritable, it may be time to invest in a portable generator.

Before buying one for the next electrical outage, identifying your needs should be the top priority.
Choose a Back-up Generator Wisely
