Benefits of a Whole-House Generator

December 10, 2024      

If you’re at all on the fence about whether or not you need a standby generator, consider its benefits. Here are some of the most important pros to owning a whole-house generator.

• Standby generators connect to the home with an automatic transfer switch that instantly kicks the generator on when the power goes out.
• They are sized to the home, meaning they can usually handle all of the home’s needs during a power outage, not just the refrigerator and a few outlets.
• Since they are connected to a home’s integrated natural gas or liquid propane supply, standby generators can run for days or longer without needing to refuel.
• They can prevent serious damage caused by frozen pipes by allowing the user to keep the heat on in the home.
• They can save money by ensuring food in your refrigerator and freezer stays cold, eliminating food spoilage.
• They can help you stay safe during lengthy storms and their aftermath while also allowing you to charge devices, stay up-to-date on news, and even entertain yourself to pass the time.
