A home generator can help bridge that gap between the time of a power outage and the time service is restored.
If you’ve lived in the Maryland and Washington, D.C., area for a while, you know how dangerous summer rains and winter storms can be. Often the result is a power outage that forces you to close your home office, puts the food in your refrigerator at risk, and can pose a real health risk if someone in your home relies on oxygen to help them breathe. Fortunately, a home generator can help bridge that gap between the time of a power outage and the time service is restored. Read on to learn more!
Consistent power in your home
The main advantage of having a backup generator is that your home will never be without any power. Your generator will turn on when it senses a power outage. You don’t even have to be home to turn on the switch.
Flame resistance processes
A whole-house backup generator uses natural gas or propane to generate electricity, so you don’t run into the fire risk inherent in storing gasoline on your home property as you would with a portable generator.
Save costs for your home
Investing in a home generator can save you some money. Not only does it prevent food stored in the refrigerator and freezers from spoiling, but it will also save you money that you might have spent on hotel and restaurant meals during a power outage. Keeping the electricity running can also prevent costly damage and cleanouts to plumbing pipes that can burst in freezing temperatures.
Safety reasons
Home generators help keep your family and property safe. Unfortunately, vandals and thieves usually come out during emergencies, such as hurricanes that may cause power outages. When your home is the only one indoors with lights, criminals are less likely to look at your property.
Sump pump power
Home generators are also great for backing up sump pumps to prevent flooding. This is another important component of your home that needs power in the event of a power outage that is often overlooked.
Don’t worry about losing power
Knowing that your family will be safe and comfortable in the event of a power outage is definitely worth the price. Contact TriStar Electric if you would like to learn how our team of electricians can help you!
