Backup, standby, or as some people call them emergency generators are rising in popularity across America for various reasons. For the individuals who are living off the utility power grid, generators provide a dependable source of electricity that is readily at hand. For this very same reason many people purchase their emergency generators to provide electricity when there is an unexpected power outage.
With the phenomenal increase in storm and earthquake activity across America, many people realize it is better to be prepared than be caught in a situation saying and thinking, " I wish I had bought an emergency generator while they were available".
Riding out a power outage is inconvenient, no fun, and can be a medical hazard if you have medications that require constant refrigeration. Add to this the threat of intruders and thieves who see a power outage as an opportunity to invade your home. Traditionally the stability of power systems across America has rarely been questioned. The idea of power outages has often been casually dismissed. But increasingly, storms, earthquakes and peak power demands are causing more and more unanticipated power interruptions across our country.
So how can a prudent homeowner respond to this threat? The answer is to purchase a standby generator. I want to make the distinction between standby and portable generators.
Portable generators have to be put in place after a power outage ( normally outside ) before they can be of any use. Permanently installed standby generators are already installed and use automatic transfer switches when a power loss is detected and relayed to the standby generator. When the power outage from the electric company is over, the standby generator automatically switches off until the next outage. You don't have to unplug and re plug your appliances back into their normal outlets from the emergency power switches and cords connected to portable generator units.
With permanently installed generators you easily select what areas of your home to power. If you choose to backup only your family room the generator will power the TV, lamps, stereo, ceiling fans and lights. Select the kitchen and you will be able to use the stove, refrigerator, microwave, overhead lights and all of the outlets. You select and choose what rooms you want to power.
Your unit runs off your home's natural gas or liquid petroleum ( LP ) fuel supply. Once a week it will automatically run a brief self test to ensure everything is running properly when you need it. Portable generators have to constantly be refueled, in addition to finding and connecting the power cords ( sometimes in the dark ).
Not all generators are noisy. Offered are quiet source series Generac generators that allow you to sleep without constantly waking to the noise produced by portable generators. And you also get to sleep because you do not have to refill a portable generator every few hours with gasoline. Generac standby generators are sold as pre packaged systems that include the automatic transfer switch, conduit, wires, connection box and labor. You save about 25 percent from the cost of competing generator companies.
On going scheduled maintenance is provided by a trained network of dealers, installers, and factory trained service technicians. As a team they will analyze your electrical load, determining what size generator you will need, install your system and provide on going scheduled maintenance. Your unit will be kept in top operating condition. Emergency service is provided within 24 hours, seven days a week.
Generac generators offer diverse models for residential, office, and commercial use. You can enjoy peace of mind and never feel powerless knowing that your home, family and business are protected even if you are not there. Today is the day, not tomorrow to order your generator.
