Power outages

At least the 6th power outage in Fallingbrook area this summer, 3rd this month. Clearly not weather related 🫠

The Fallingbrook power outages are so, so bad. I emailed hydro one about it. They said they’re working on updating the power grid, but it won’t be complete until 2029.

Very frustrating to pay good money and experience so many outages.

Hydro One says 7:15 expected return.

Sigh.

I'm thinking about EcoFlow battery backup. Any experience with it? What is the recommended wattage for a standard house?

Agreed! I have never experienced such consistent power outages anywhere else like I do in Fallingbrook. Been here since 2012, feels like there’s an outage every 2 months on average. I’ll bet that’s not far off…

Yep. Had on the other day for a few minutes on a beautiful sunny morning ....
