Do Your Household Require Electricity to Power Equipment?
Life Support Equipment Certification – Western MA
If someone in your household requires electricity to power life-sustaining medical equipment, Eversource wants to ensure we can properly support you during a storm or other emergency that may cause power outages. Please have your physician certify, in writing, that equipment is being used for life support.
The letter must specifically state:
The letter must be signed by a medical doctor, on letterhead and mailed to:
Eversource, P.O. Box 330 Manchester, NH 03105-0330
When the letter is received, your household will be enrolled in our life support notification program. To maintain this enrollment, certification must be updated annually.
Benefits of Certifying
Please note that certification does not prioritize your service for faster restoration in the event of a power outage. We encourage you to have an alternate source of energy in the event of a prolonged electric interruption. This certification has no impact to medical protection already applied to your account.
We provide notification to all customers, either by letter or phone, of any planned outages that may affect their electric or gas service.
