Combs sits in the storm track
Combs runs along KY-15 between Hazard and the Letcher County line — right in the path of the weather systems that roll through the coalfields every winter. Ice, high wind, and the occasional tornado-warned line of storms all hit this corridor, and the feeder lines serving Combs homes are exposed for nearly their entire run.
A whole house standby generator means the next outage is a non-event: the unit senses the failure, starts itself, and carries your entire home — heat, well pump, refrigeration, lights — until utility power returns. You sleep through what used to be a three-day emergency.
