    If anyone thinks they want to participate in this… you should probably flip each breaker off individually before switching the main power. It’s not a great idea to be turning them all back on simultaneously by only flipping the main.

    Then remember that you’ve cut the power to your fridge and freezer for the entire day…

      It’s only for 3 hours instead of the full day. Ive been telling local people if it helps just unplug literally everything but your fridge. People can only do so much.

        The poster says 6am to 9pm but regardless, leaving the fridge on is probably for the best.

          I didn’t see the am…woops.

          Yeah that’s way too long for a fridge/freezer. Thanks!

            It depends. If you don’t open either it’s not so bad. Mine ended up being off for like 30 hours before and it was mostly fine. Things in the fridge didn’t last quite as long but nothing spoiled. Not even the milk.

              And depends on the thermal mass you got in there, a bit of planning with some water jugs can go a long way

              (Important to note they will expand in the freezer so leave some air space in the jug)
