I was thinking about getting a backup generator for the house.
gpt
Why do we need one?
human
Well, what if there's a power outage? We'll be prepared and won't have to worry.
gpt
That's true, but wouldn't it be better to just have a few flashlights and some candles?
human
Flashlights and candles can only go so far. Plus, if the outage lasts longer than a day, we'll be stuck in the dark and cold.
gpt
I guess that makes sense. How much would a generator cost?
human
I've been looking online and found a few options for around $500. It's definitely an investment, but I think it's worth it for the peace of mind.
gpt
Well, if you think it'll be helpful, I trust your judgment.
human
Thanks, I just want to make sure we're prepared for anything. Remember when I had all that extra water stored when the water was cut off a few months ago?
gpt
Yes, that was definitely helpful during that time.
human
Exactly, I just like to consider alternative possibilities and have a plan in case something unexpected happens.
