Why Install a Standby Generator?

February 5, 2025      

South Shore Generator - Generac Standby Generator

You’ll have electricity to run essential appliances and your central air system. A standby generator can even reduce your chances of flood damage by keeping your sump pump running.

It’s permanently installed outside your home and fueled by liquid propane or natural gas. Since it’s wired directly into your home’s electrical system, it can automatically restore power in seconds. Price depends on the size of your home and the amount of wattage needed.

Why You Need a Whole-House Generator

If you live in a climate that experiences extreme temperatures or potentially devastating weather events, a whole-house generator might be a great benefit. Investing in a whole-home generator can benefit you in the following ways:

  • Helps prevent bursting pipes
  • Keeps the fridge and freezer on and prevents food from spoiling
  • Provides power for essential medical equipment
  • May increase your home’s value
  • Runs longer than a portable generator
  • Offers added security and peace of mind

Speak with a local generator installer if you’re unsure that your home could benefit from this addition. They can assess whether you should consider one based on your region and advise on what size would work with your appliances.
