Five things to consider purchasing to help your home generator work better

Have you recently invested in a home generator? Or are you considering purchasing one this year?

If you are, congratulations! You are on your way to having power all the time – and protecting your family and home.

However, there are a few other things you might want to consider adding to your shopping list to help you get the most out of your home generator.

Here are a few things to consider for your home generator. Read on:

1. A pad: Let’s face it, your yard isn’t the most stable or flat surface, and a standby generator needs a level and stable site to work at its most optimal condition. Purchasing a generator pad can help with that, making sure your generator has the support it needs to work.
2. Tools: You probably have tools but generator maintenance can sometimes require different items to keep it running. Purchasing a kit to help you maintain your generator is a great idea and they often include oil, filters, spark plugs and more. However, if you ever need assistance, call your friendly generator repair person!
3. Smart modules: Everything is connected nowadays, and standby generators are in the mix. Thanks to technology, you can monitor and control your generator from your smart phone or tablet by adding a smart management module.
4. Automatic transfer switch: Call up your trusted electrician and ask for an automatic transfer switch if you want your generator to come on and off with the power. This is essential if you add a whole-house generator to your home and it means you don’t have to worry about your generator – its handled!
