Backup Generators
THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A BACKUP GENERATOR:
A backup generator is an independent power supply system that provides electricity to your home or business when the main utility grid fails. It converts mechanical energy from an engine—typically fueled by natural gas, propane, or gasoline—into electrical energy.
Most modern systems use a Transfer Switch to manage the connection:
Standby Generators: Permanently installed outside (like an AC unit) and connected directly to your home's electrical panel. They detect power loss and start automatically within seconds.
Portable Generators: Smaller, mobile units that must be manually set up and started. They typically require you to plug appliances directly into them or use a manual transfer switch.
Why You Need One:
A backup generator is often considered an "insurance policy" for your home's functionality and safety.
Prevent Property Damage: It keeps sump pumps running to prevent basement flooding and ensures the HVAC system stays on during winter to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting.
Food Preservation: It keeps refrigerators and freezers powered, preventing hundreds of dollars in food spoilage during extended outages.
Medical Necessity: For households with residents relying on electrically powered medical devices (e.g., oxygen concentrators, CPAP machines), a generator can be a literal lifesaver.
Security & Connectivity: It ensures home security systems, alarms, and Wi-Fi remain active, providing safety and the ability to stay informed during emergencies.
Financial Return: A permanently installed standby generator can increase a home's resale value by an estimated 3% to 5%. Some insurance companies also offer premium discounts for homes with standby generators.
