If they can't put a guy up there due to safety, then I should be reimbursed for my time without power, since you know, I'm paying for service fees that actually exceed my usage.

That will never happen though. Fuck Duq light.

Nah it's closed, roadblocks are up, it's purge type environment during "Easter activities".

But seriously, it's fucking Easter dude, what do you think is happening here? Children with full auto weaponry? Easter bunny coming in hot planting eggs for kids to find that are actually claymore mines? WHAT DO YOU THINK IS HAPPENING ON EASTER????

I can't handle more idiots in this town. Please don't come here.

I didn't know this. I've been there pre and post flood. I know there was a lot of stuff that was rumored to be lost and unsalvageable. There might not be anything worth it down there. I haven't even seen a way to get in there in the front or in the stacks / small sideroom.

The wind was 45 in Irwin. The idiots where I grew up (not necessarily hometown) literally made a bingo card on stuff going on. So I don’t know if the power is off or not. But they can’t stop complaining about that and how dollar general is closed. But again from Elizabeth township to Belle Vernon I think they got 5 on 51 dollar generals

We had a few power blips over the course of the afternoon, and my work's alarm company just called a few minutes ago to report a power outage in our main building (and a successful live run on our battery backup)

With any luck if you lose your fridge contents you can get compensated by the power company. Might be time for a late night ice cream party!

I've used JA Sauer for years. Had them install a whole new furnace a few years back and the cost was reasonable. I also get the yearly inspection for both heating and cooling every year and it runs about $175. Reminds me, I need to get that appointment set up!

They can't put linemen up the power poles until gusts drop below 35MPH for safety. Once that happens, they will start working through the outage areas. Larger outage areas usually get tended to first. Ones that are out because of trees down on private property can take longer if access is an issue. There were over 50k customers without power at the height of the outages, so yeah, it's going to take some time. Glad you all are prepared. Sorry you'll lose the food, especially with how expensive groceries are as of late.

Only used Metro between the two. I had numerous folks including climatech and others tell me what I wanted was not possible and tried to sell me something I didn’t want. Truly had 10 or so folks all come out. Metro came out said it was possible and they could do it and stuck to their estimate. I have recommended them to numerous others since. Very happy. But based on comments. Sounds like either will be good. Good to have options.

Our furnace broke 2 years ago. No one could figure which part was the problem. JA Sauer came out 3 or 4 times, trying everything. They never charged me a dime until it was finally fixed. And then, only for the parts/labor related to the eventual solution (got a lot of free components, lol). Every tech was nice, and were super honest about their initial failures. Despite the challenges, I’d use them again in s heartbeat.

My vote is for Rachel Rosnick. She's currently a full time defense attorney for a non profit helping children and is in front of magistrates every single day. She understands and cares so much about her clients. She's actually such a breathe of fresh air to local politics ❤️
