The lightning flashes and the thunder booms. Or…the blazing sun beats down and the AC units in your neighborhood are Suddenly, the lights go out. The electronics shut off. The refrigerator stops working.
Do you experience those problems when the power goes out? You wouldn’t if you had a standby generator. Here are six reasons investing in a standby generator is a smart move.
- Your whole house and what’s inside it are protected automatically. When the power goes out, the standby generator turns on automatically, providing protection for everything.
- You won’t lose stuff. Here are a few things your standby generator will protect.
- Food, since your refrigerator and freezer stay on
- Important documents, since your computer will stay on
- Possessions to flooding, since your sump pump will keep working (but you should still have a battery backup).
- Health benefits.
- If someone in your family requires an electrically powered medical device, that too will keep running.
- Your AC or furnace will keep the house at a healthy temperature and the air quality good, which is important for all the two-legged, four-legged and winged members of your household.
- Financial benefits
- No food spoilage means you don’t have to spend money to replace the spoiled goods.
- No costly repairs due to sump pump failures, frozen pipes, and electrical device malfunctions.
- Since the house remains comfortable, there’s no need to check into a hotel or motel until the power comes back on.
- Having the standby generator could lower your homeowner’s insurance rates
- The standby generator can also enhance your home’s resale value.
- Security. The indoor and outdoor lights will stay on. Outdoor cameras will stay on. Your home security system will keep functioning.
- Keep living your life. Prepare a nice meal. Keep working on your computer. Watch a fun show. Sleep in your own bed. With a standby generator, life just goes on.
