Power outages can be more than an inconvenience. A long-term power outage can disconnect us from critical resources and create uncomfortable conditions any time of year.
Emergency generators don’t just keep the lights on; they can help keep your lifelines intact. We often don’t like to think about the worst-case scenario, but being prepared for a power outage is a worthy investment for the following reasons.
Peace of Mind
No one wants to revolve their decisions around the possibility of the power going out. No matter what a power outage might impact, you don’t have to worry knowing that your emergency generator will keep things running smoothly without having to lift a finger.
Comfort
No matter the time of year, losing the ability to heat or cool your home can lead to uncomfortable conditions at best and dangerous conditions at worst. With a backup generator, you’ll never have to worry about keeping your family and pets comfortable and safe.
Plus, no one likes being in the dark. Storms can be stressful for children and pets, so keeping the lights on and everything running, as usual, can provide a more pleasant environment for everyone.
Less Waste
There’s nothing worse than stocking up for a big storm only to lose power and the ability to keep your stockpile fresh. With an emergency generator, you’ll rest easy knowing that your food hasn’t gone to waste. Not only that, but you’ll be able to use any appliance you like and won’t be limited to certain foods as you would be during a power outage.
Medical Considerations
If you or a loved one relies on a refrigerator to keep medications cold or uses a medical device that requires electricity to run, having a backup generator takes the worry out of the possibility of a power outage. Keeping those lifelines available makes having an emergency generator a worthy investment.
Prevent Flooding
While sump pumps do a fantastic job of keeping water out of your basement, they can only do their job if they have electricity to run on. Power outages can spell disaster if they coincide with heavy rains that your sump pump is useless to address. If you live in an area prone to flooding or rely on a sump pump to keep your basement dry, having a backup generator can help prevent costly flood damage and loss of property.
