More Americans are looking to purchase home generators: Here’s why
October 8, 2024No one wants to think about it, but winter is coming and if you have a larger home, it is time to consider choosing a backup power system.
You do not want to deal with the consequences of an extended power outage in a larger home, especially if you work from home, live with small or elderly people or have valuables like electronics.
When the power goes out, you can’t work, can’t keep your house at a safe temperature and more – and all these issues are exacerbated in a larger home. Here are some things to consider about choosing a backup power system this winter.
Reliability
If you have a backup generator, you’ll have power when there is an outage – meaning you can likely heat your home, keep the lights on and use your appliances. This also means your security system can operate – if that is important to you.
Full-house generator
If you have a larger home, a full-house generator might be a great option, as it will automatically switch over and power much of your home – minimizing inconvenience and downtime. If you have a larger home with a complex electrical system, this is a great option that can save you headaches!
You will also likely be able to customize your backup power system, which is great for a larger home that may have unique requirements and systems.
Benefits
While a backup power system might seem like a luxury, if you live in a larger home, it can be a necessity that can save you money in the event of an outage. It can keep your home safer by keeping it lit and your security systems operational and it can also prevent things like frozen pipes and carbon monoxide poisoning. You might have other systems in your home like a pool that need power to run filters and pumps. Prolonged outages can damage your home and the things in it.
