It depends on the cause of the power failure and the loss you suffer. For instance, if a storm causes the power failure, and it stays out for 3 days whereby your freezer defrosts causing a side of beef and food to ruin that you paid $1200 for, then yes you would have coverage. If the power goes out for 3 hours and the freezer did not defrost and you had no loss then there would be no need as no loss occurred.

You will need to read your policy to determine what your homeowners covers. Homeowners policies have a deductible and also demand proof of loss. During a hurricane, I lost electrical power. After the hurricane the insurance company offered to reimburse me for any food in my freezer except I had a deductible of $500. As I had food worth about $50, I did not use my homeowners. Read your homeowners. How much money did you have in your wallet. Where was your wallet when it was stolen? Was it in your house? Was there a robbery? What is your deductible?

F your sump pump overflows due to a power outage does your insurance cover it?
Unfortunately, we are learning the hard way after Hurricane Irene that insurance does not cover for damages caused by sump pump failure due to a power outage. NOT happy about it, but we continue to work with the wet vac and fans, de-humidifiers. After some research, I have found that some insurance companies do offer a separate clause for this. Generators or battery back-ups for sump pumps seem to be the way to go. That will be our next investment after replacing what we will end up losing.
