Many homeowners don’t realize how exposed they are until the power goes out. Here are the most common reasons to consider a standby generator.
If storms regularly knock out power in your neighborhood, a generator keeps your home running without interruption.
Lost power means lost water pressure or basement flooding risk without backup.
Devices like oxygen concentrators or refrigerated medications need consistent, reliable power.
Working from home means an outage can cost you a full day of productivity.
Extended outages can spoil hundreds of dollars in groceries in a single event.
Older infrastructure in some areas means longer, more frequent outages than newer developments.
Choosing the right generator size comes down to your home’s square footage, HVAC system, and which circuits you want backed up. Here’s a general guide:
