Clock Features for Homes Prone to Power Failures

If you need an alarm clock to get to work or school, it is frustrating to miss your wake-up time due to a power failure during the night. For homes prone to power failures, the best alarm clocks feature elements that are able to continue functioning even after the power goes out.

Your first option if your home frequently experiences power failures is to buy a battery-operated alarm clock as well as additional battery-operated wall clocks for your home. However, even battery-powered clocks come with their own frustrations. Batteries also die in the middle of the night, causing you to miss your wake-up time. 

A good combination is a plug-in alarm clock that also includes battery power in case of a power failure. This clock keeps you protected even during power outages because the battery power picks up when the electricity goes out. Keep in mind that the batteries on these clocks do eventually run out, so make sure you have fresh batteries in your home.

Newer clocks, such as atomic alarm clocks, are designed both to plug into the wall and to maintain clock functionality even during a power failure. With an atomic alarm clock, you sleep well knowing your clock is designed to keep going no matter what happens.

When you need your alarm clock to ensure you make it to your destination on time, you want to do everything possible to make sure your alarm clock keeps running. Try an atomic clock that is designed to keep the time even through power failures or an electric clock with backup battery power. For additional peace of mind, double your protection by setting two alarm clocks before going to bed.
