Reasons to Consider a Standby Generator For Your Home – Part 2 of 4

Standby Generators Are Convenient

Portable generators require a lot of effort because they must be stored while not in use and set up once you need them. They require you to pull them out from storage, fuel them up, and hook them up to the devices you need to power. Standby generators allow you to skip all those steps by being readily available at the flick of a switch (or with no effort at all if the generator is automatic).

Standby generators are hooked up to your home always. You won’t need to store them away and set up them when you need them. During installation, you’ll choose the resources you need to stay powered on. Then, the generator will automatically supply power to those things during the power outage.

A fully ready generator with automatic capabilities is safer since there’s no need to fuel it and manually start it.

Easily Salvage Appliances, Food, and Utilities

When people experience a power outage and are without a generator, their homes and possessions are exposed to the environment. Fridges and freezers cease to function and HVAC systems shut down. Any equipment or devices that depend on power are rendered useless.

After some time, your freezers and fridges can no longer keep your food cold. Your home will lose its comfortable temperature as your cooling or heating leaks to the outside. Appliances can become damaged from the intemperate climate.

You also could experience serious plumbing issues if you have a power outage during the winter and your pipes freeze. Portable generators are often only good for running a few appliances and devices that are essential. And running the HVAC system for days without power is often not possible.

All these issues and more can cost you thousands, so a standby generator can pay for itself over time.

Standby Generators Work Better For Longer

A whole-home standby generator can power as much of your home as you need for as long as required. You won’t have to keep refueling it, and you won’t have to worry about exceeding the threshold of power capabilities. Your standby generator runs on an existing fuel supply like natural gas. Because of this, it never runs out of ability to power your home.

When you install your generator, you’ll choose how much of the home you want it to power. From only hooking up a few lights and your fridge to powering your entire home as normal.

With the best standby generator, it’ll be like you never lost power in the first place.
