Why Do I Need a Generator?
Why Would I Need a Home Generator?
These days, due to extreme weather, construction, and other unforeseen complications, extended power outages can mean real problems for daily living.
When an ice storm knocks down a tree, which then falls on the power line that supplies your neighborhood’s electricity, you are left waiting for the electric company to come restore your power. This could mean days of waiting. Days without heat. Days without internet. Days that food in your refrigerator is going bad. When you have a backup generator, the automatic transfer switch (which is installed along with the generator) recognizes that you are no longer receiving power from the power grid, and within seconds, it switches the generator on as your power source, and voila! Life goes on, uninterrupted.
Today’s standby power generators are fully automatic, self-contained, and built to be permanently installed outside the living area, just like an air conditioning unit. You would almost never know it was there, until you needed it.
