Bought a new house. All the utilities are off. No heat, water, or electric. I like not having to pay utility bills. Don't have time for a year or two to work on the house to get it ready to move in.
Basement is flooded. Need electricity to run a sump pump. Two options that I know about. Solar with a 12V pump or get the electricity turned on and pay the bill every month.
Want reliable. Sump pump should work when needed. Will install a alarm to call me if the basement floods. Alarms are powered by 12V DC so solar should run the alarm no problem.
What would you recommend? Solar or get the electricity turned on? Note - I only want a small solar system to run the sump pump and a alarm.
