Common Myths About Whole Home Generators

South Shore Generator Sales & Service

“I Can Rely on a Portable Generator Instead”

While portable generators are useful during brief outages, they simply can’t provide the whole-home coverage and automatic switching that a standby generator offers. In addition, portable units must be refueled manually and can pose safety risks if not used correctly.

“Standby Generators Are Too Expensive”

The upfront cost of a whole home generator can be significant, but it’s important to consider the long-term benefits—especially in areas where hurricanes and extended outages are common. Protecting your home from water damage, preserving perishable food, and safeguarding your family’s well-being are investments that can quickly outweigh the cost.

“Maintenance Is a Hassle”

Modern standby generators are designed for ease of use, with many models offering remote monitoring, self-testing, and user-friendly maintenance reminders.
