No power? No problem! With power outages occurring more frequently and lasting longer than ever, most of us have realized how dependent we are on everyday necessities like heating and cooling, refrigerators and freezers, lights, internet routers, and so much more. Are you tired of the cost and inconvenience of prolonged power outages? Whole-house standby generators can provide the power you need to protect your home and family during the next outage. Easily connected to the LP or natural gas supply, a whole-house generator comes on just seconds after utility power is lost and will run as long as necessary until power is restored.
How Whole-House Generators Work
Standby generators are used by hospitals and businesses required to maintain critical operations. Now, you can enjoy the same uninterrupted service at home. Whole-house generators utilize either natural gas or propane to power your home’s essential appliances. The unit itself sits outside your home and blends seamlessly with your landscape.
When a power outage is detected, the system starts automatically and feeds power back into your home for uninterrupted service. When your power is restored, the generator shuts down automatically. Generac also provides tools that allow you to monitor your generator remotely.
Benefits of Installing a Standby Generator
Installing a backup generator can provide various benefits, from increased peace of mind to protection from power surges and long-term outages. Here in the Tidewater region, most power outages are caused by severe weather, fallen tree limbs, and equipment failure. During the prime heating and cooling season, providers may be forced to institute brownouts or rolling blackouts to regulate the power supply. The next time your neighborhood is hit with a power outage, a generator will help you weather the storm. Some of the benefits include:
- Power medical equipment
- Prevent food spoilage
- Run computers and electronics
- Power your Wi-Fi router and devices
- Maintain heating, cooling, and lighting
- Avoid potential household damage
