A home generator can help bridge that gap between when power goes out and when the service is restored.
If you have lived in Maryland and Washington DC area for a while, you know just how serious summer rains and winter storms are. Too often the result is a power outage that forces you to shut off your home office, puts the food in your fridge at risk, and can even present a real health hazard if somebody in your home depends on oxygen to help them breathe. Luckily, a home generator can help bridge that gap between when power goes out and when the service is restored. Read on to learn more!
Consistent Power in Your Home
The main benefit of owning a standby generator is that your house will never be without any power. Your generator will turn on when it senses a power outage. You do not even have to be at home to flip on a switch.
Flame-Resistant Operations
An entire house standby generator uses natural gas or propane to create electricity, so you do not have the fire risk inherent with storing gasoline on your home property as you do with a portable generator.
Cost Savings for Your Home
Investing in a home generator could actually save you some money. Not only does it prevent food stored in the fridge and freezers from spoiling, but it will also save you money that you might have otherwise spent on a hotel and restaurant meals during a power outage. Keeping the electricity running could also prevent expensive damage and clean-up from plumbing pipes that could burst in freezing temperatures.
Safety Reasons
Home generators help keep your family and property safe. Unfortunately, vandals and thieves usually come out during emergencies, like hurricanes that could cause the power to go out. When your home is the only one within blocks with lights on, criminals are less likely to look at your property.
Sump Pump Power
Home generators are also great for backing up sump pumps to prevent flooding. This is another crucial component of your home that needs power in the event of a power outage that often gets overlooked.
Not Worrying About Losing Power
Knowing that your family will be safe and cozy in the event of a power outage is definitely worth the price. Call TriStar Electric if you’d like to learn how our team of electricians can help!
