Should You Get A Generator Installed?Â
As mentioned above, there are many reasons to have a whole home backup generator installed. The overarching benefit of a generator is that you can maintain electricity in your home during what would otherwise be a power outage. These outages can come from many avenues. Storms might knock out lines, falling trees may damage transformers, or just routine maintenance might require a shutting down of electricity. And while it might feel like you can get through a few hours without power, in reality, we rely on electricity for so much that we might not even realize how difficult it is to navigate a world without power. Here are just a few of the things that a backup generator can help support when you experience a power outage.Â
Keep Your Home Safe
A built-in generator can keep your home’s security system functioning, even when everyone else’s lights have gone out. There is evidence to suggest that home burglaries increase when an area is experiencing a power outage. Oftentimes, this uptick is attributed to home security systems being down, paired with reduced visibility and potentially distracted homeowners. Keep your home safe from crimes of opportunity by ensuring your home’s security system is still up and running and monitoring the activity in and around your property.Â
Don’t Lose The Food In Your Fridge
With the price of groceries at an all-time high, the thought of losing a fridge full of food can be terrifying. And when the power goes out, you really only have about 3-4 hours that you can wait before considering the food ‘lost’. In just an instant, you can lose hundreds of dollars worth of food just by waiting for the electricity to turn back on. However, when you have a generator installed, your electricity will stay constant, meaning no food will spoil and you won’t have to spend the afternoon tossing out food that would have been perfectly fine.Â
Maintain Power To Medical Devices
One of the most frightening aspects of homes losing power is knowing that there are some homes with life-sustaining medical devices that require connection to electricity to work. And even more common are more casual medical devices that, while they may not be life-sustaining, are definitely life-changing. If you or a loved one in your home has a medical device like this, losing power isn’t an option. Having a generator installed not only prevents complications in the event of a power outage, but it can also give you peace of mind in your everyday life, knowing that your home will never be without power.Â
Ultimately, there are countless reasons to have a generator installed. From just wanting to stay comfortable regardless of what is happening outside to making sure your home is safe from ill-intended house guests, a generator protects you and your home in the best way possible. Think you might want to learn more about how a generator can benefit you? Call us today and we can walk you through even more benefits of generator installation in Lexington, KY.
What Kinds Of Generators Are There?Â
Something that many homeowners don’t realize is that there are many different types of generators to choose from. If you aren’t sure you need or want a generator that can power your entire home, there are smaller forms of generators that can be hooked up to specific areas of your home. Working with a professional generator installation team like GreenBox can help make sure that you select the generator that can adequately power exactly what you do want and nothing that you don’t want. Take a look at these types of generators to see what might work best for you.Â
Stand By Generators
These generators are what you might normally think of when you think of whole-home generators. A stand-by generator is what your home’s power will switch over to automatically in the event of a power outage. They are the largest and highest capacity generators you can get for your home. These generators have a few different fuel sources, such as gas, diesel, and solar-powered, which we will cover in more detail down below.Â
Portable Generators
A portable generator is more for specific needs. Whether that is for a quick camping trip or if there is a specific device or appliance that you want to be able to keep running when the power is out, a portable generator is good for specific occasions, not whole-home power. It should also be noted that, in almost every case, a portable generator has to be manually started and connected to whatever you want to power. It will not automatically switch over when the power goes out.Â
Solar Powered Generators
A new wave of clean technology has helped improve the generator world! Gone are the days when we have to rely solely on gas and diesel to keep our homes running. Generators running off of solar power can keep your home running just as effectively without the constant use of gas. Ask us about what solar-powered generator options you have and what kind of area you might need to qualify for a solar-powered generator.Â
With generators that can fit every need and every lifestyle, we are certain that you will find one that works best for you. Regardless of your situation, everyone can benefit greatly from having a generator installed in their home. Reach out today to protect yourself against tomorrow.
