There’s a lot that a storm can bring your way, but there’s much that you can do to prepare for it. Once you’ve learned of an impending storm, you have to be proactive and put things together to get you ready to face the storm. Beyond staying alert, and double-checking the first aid kit, having a generator as a backup just in case of a power outage, could be a life-saver. This is one of the most beneficial preparations for the storm season. If you haven’t yet installed a generator in your home, consider making the investment.
Why You Should Install a Generator in Your Home to Prepare For Storm Season
- Peace of Mind: You cannot predict how a storm is going to turn out, but you can ensure that certain worries are avoided. With a generator in your home, you can find some comfort when there’s a power outage. You also ensure that your refrigerator and septic system are in full operation throughout the storm. A generator can help you to keep life moving forwards and not come to a halt because of a storm.
- Solid Investment: As the adage goes, “prevention is better than cure,” and one way to avoid added headaches during a storm is to have a generator. It will last you into the next storm and even the storm after that. Installing a generator could also increase the value of your home as a home improvement feature that potential homebuyers could find appealing when searching for a home.
- Having a generator in your home during a storm will not only ensure that you have power but long-lasting power. If properly fueled, you can expect your generator to run for several days on end or weeks, depending on the type that you install. Long-lasting electrical support that is safe is exactly what you need when a storm hits.
Standby/Automatic Generator
A permanently installed standby generator protects you, your family, and your home automatically. It’s typically powered by external fuel, including liquid propane (LP), diesel, or natural gas, and can be installed to power your entire home or selected essential items. These tend to be stationary with a concrete pad functioning as the foundation for the generator. During installation, the automatic generator is directly connected to your home’s electrical panel. Standby generators are popularly paired with an ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch), which serves as the prompt that allows the generator to kick instantaneously when a power outage occurs.
