Power through storms with confidence
Whole home generators offer several benefits, especially in regions prone to power outages or areas where access to electricity is critical. In the Houston area, most homeowners consider their central air conditioning to be essential in order to stay safely in their home. While a portable generator may help in the case of an outage, they simply don’t provide enough power to run central A/C and a permanently installed standby generator is a better alternative. Here are some benefits of a whole home generator:
Continuous Power Supply: Standby generators are designed to provide power to your entire home during blackouts or grid failures with only a 20 second delay. This ensures that essential appliances and systems like lights, heating, cooling, refrigeration, security systems, and medical equipment remain operational, maintaining comfort and safety for our neighbors and their families.
Convenience: With a whole house generator, there’s no need to manually switch on backup power or to select which appliances or circuits to power. The generator automatically detects a power outage and starts supplying electricity to the entire house, providing convenience and peace of mind.
Protection of Property: Power outages can lead to various issues such as food spoilage (if refrigerators and freezers stop working), and damage to electronic devices. Whole home generators eliminate these risks by ensuring continuous power supply.
Safety and Security: Whole house generators contribute to safety and security by keeping essential systems like lighting and security alarms functioning. This is particularly important during prolonged power outages when homes may become vulnerable to intruders or when emergency lighting is needed. Also, portable generators typically require gasoline and storing fresh gas can be dangerous and finding gas during an extended outage can be challenging. Remember- if your power is out, the gas station may also be without power. Long lines at gas stations are very common after a large storm,
Business Continuity: For those who work from home or run a home-based business, a whole home generator ensures continuity of operations, preventing disruption of work and potential financial losses.
Increased Property Value: Installing a whole house generator can increase the resale value of your home, as it’s seen as an attractive feature for potential buyers, especially in areas prone to frequent power outages. If you think about it, if you were considering two different homes and one had a generator, which one would you choose?
Peace of Mind: Knowing that you have a reliable backup power source in place provides peace of mind, especially for families with young children, older Houstonians who want to stay in their home, or those with medical conditions that require continuous power supply for medical equipment.
Overall, whole home standby generators offer a comprehensive solution to power outages, providing convenience, safety, and peace of mind for homeowners and their families.
