Hi there, thanks for taking the time to write about your AC unit. So sorry to hear about the power outage you had and that this affected your unit. If unit is running when the power goes out wait 2 minutes after power is restored before starting the unit. Also, we'd recommend taking a look at an article on our website titled AIR CONDITIONER POWER INTERRUPTION RESTART FEATURE to see if it helps. If you continue to have issues, you may want to try a different outlet. If all of that fails to help, feel free to reach out to us on social media with a copy of your review here and your complete model and serial numbers, we'd be happy to review further. -Michael@GEA
