Joe K. of Massachusetts

Joe became paralyzed from the neck down in a diving accident when he was 21. Today at 59, he still enjoys life and peace of mind thanks to Mr. Electricity®.

Making adjustments to his condition at first was not easy. Years ago he developed bedsores. Eventually he purchased an airbed which blows fresh air on his skin and keeps him comfortable.

His airbed has an air pump that runs constantly. If it loses electricity the bed will deflate in about two minutes. That's happened quite a few times -- three times because the pump itself quit, others due to power outages.

When the mattress sinks he can't reach any of his support equipment -- the phone or computer -- to call for help. Once, this happened at 2:00 AM. Luckily he managed to get help within an hour. His phone is activated by a breath of air.

When Joe first called us, it was obvious that he knows more than most about the power utility grid and its problems. He had looked into all the solutions for backup power and determined Mr. Electricity® was the best. He said, people in his situation cannot afford to go without a backup power system for emergencies.

Joe no longer worries about losing power with Mr. Electricity®. Since the system was installed, he's had power outages but his airbed worked right through them without missing a beat. Joe says if it weren't for Mr. Electricity® he get rid of his air bed no matter how much comfort it gives him.

Frank and Cathy C. of New York

These folks live in the heart of the Adirondacks. They "lose power all the time." Apparently there is only one main power line to many towns in their area. Anything from a car accident to a fallen tree can throw the entire area into a power outage. Usually it happens in the cold winter months.

Frank told us they have had more than a dozen power outages since Mr. Electricity® was installed. It has worked perfectly for them. Frank and Cathy are even prepared for very long outages with our tri-fuel generator. It is connected to their whole-house propane tank for an almost endless fuel supply.

Frank summed it up well when he told us, "You have no idea how nice it is to take a hot shower or be able to flush the toilet during a power outage." Their furnace, lights, refrigerator and TV are also wired to Mr. Electricity®.

Richard D. of Massachusetts

Richard and his wife are nearing 70. They care for their son who gets around in a wheelchair. Richard installed a wheelchair elevator between the non insulated garage and the main floor of the house, replacing a set of stairs. Not long after, on a cold day, his wife and son were in the elevator between floors when a power outage occurred.. If Richard hadn't been there to manually help them down, they might have frozen to death.

Mr. Electricity® now powers the elevator. Richard says they have lost power several times since the installation. One of those times they needed to use the elevator and Mr. Electricity® never missed a beat. The elevator worked perfectly through the power outage.

Richard considers Mr. Electricity® life-critical for his wife and son, and takes comfort knowing that Mr. Electricity® is on the job 24 hours a day. In this instance, both the elevator and Mr. Electricity® were paid for by a Federal Block Grant for people with disabilities through the Methuen housing authority.

Lyle J. of New Hampshire

Lyle built his dream home atop a beautiful mountain in New Hampshire. His "driveway" is barely accessible without a four wheel drive vehicle in the winter. Words cannot describe the view. Trouble is, Lyle soon realized this paradise had him trapped. Power outages are all too common in this area. Lyle had enjoyed extensive traveling before building this home. But now he could not leave for fear that he would return to find his pipes had frozen and burst. He had to stay with the house to start his gas-powered generator whenever power was lost.

He considered buying an expensive self-starting propane fueled generator. But propane could only be delivered to his remote home in the summertime and would run out fueling a generator through power outages during the winter months.

Mr. Electricity® was the best solution. Lyle purchased a system with four battery banks which can power his furnace for almost four weeks. Lyle also bought our tri-fuel powered generator. In the unlikely event of a power outage lasting longer than four weeks, the tri-fuel generator can recharge Mr. Electricity®'s battery banks. The fine Honda powered generator uses only a quart of fuel per hour.

Lyle spoke with Lee Hebert, the man who invented Mr. Electricity®. "Lee," he said, "this product has given me back my freedom from my own self-made prison."

Nancy R. of New York

Nancy is one of the almost two million people in the U.S. who lives with sleep apnea. This condition does not allow a person to fall asleep without a special face mask The mask is attached to an air pump and provides air for the person while sleeping. Without this equipment a person can die.

In a power outage, the air pump has an alarm to wake the person to alert him or her to the fact that the air pump has stopped. The person can then breathe on his or her own but cannot fall asleep again until the power comes back. Some people have had to go days without sleep or start a noisy generator to power the air pump.

Nancy was relieved to discover Mr. Electricity®. Since the installation she's had many power outages while sleeping. Of course, Mr. Electricity® seamlessly powered her air pump and she didn't know the main power was off until she awoke in the morning.
