Hurricane season

June 1 to November 30. Plan backwards.

The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and historically its busiest stretch is from mid-August through October.

The planner.

  1. 01

    Winter: install

    January to April is the best time to put in a generator. Permits are quick and units are in stock.

  2. 02

    April and May: service

    Pre-season service for existing generators. Fill propane tanks.

  3. 03

    June and July: check

    Run a test. Check your surge protector’s indicator light. Restock the CO alarm batteries.

  4. 04

    August to October: watch

    The historic peak. If a storm is forecast, top off propane early; delivery trucks get backed up.

  5. 05

    November: recover

    Post-season service if the generator ran for days. Plan anything you learned for next year.
