Honestly, buy a battery powered generator and an electric radiator heater. The power doesn’t really ever go out here, but just in case an extra large blizzard hits, you’ll still have heat.

Yeah & worth it to spring for a remote starter if you don’t already have one, particularly if you won’t have a garage.

Would add Darn Tough socks to the list and some LL Bean clothes/gear too.

Battery powered generator? Do you mean gas powered? What battery powered generator will power an electric heater long enough? (Might get one myself if there is one).

Those things are cool and useful but for example that one’s only 660 watt hours (wh). That means it will run something thats 660 watts for one hour. Most space heaters are 1500 watts. So that would only run a heater for about half an hour.
