Having a whole-home generator can give you peace of mind. However, we have discovered that a lot of homeowners don’t even realize that installing one of these is an option for them. We’ve put together a list of just some of the benefits you can enjoy if you have a whole-home generator installed in Fort Worth or the surrounding area. Read on to learn more or reach out to our generator experts.
Security During A Storm
With a whole-home generator, you can also stay home no matter what storms come. Instead of evacuating when large storms come through, a generator allows you to remain in your home without worrying or feeling anxious about what might happen.
When you know that your power will stay on no matter what happens, you’ll feel more comfortable and safer in your house and you’ll know that your family is protected, too.
Your generator will even come on automatically. You won’t even have to venture out in the storm to fire it up, and you won’t have to wait for a delay. Most people find themselves getting sticky within just a few minutes of the power going out. Your emergency generator will keep your air conditioner running so you don’t suffer this way.
Stay Comfortable When the Power Goes Out
By having a whole-home generator, you can keep your comfort systems on even if the power goes out. Don’t worry about getting cold at home even if winter winds blow your power lines down. It will keep your pipes thawed, too. And if your power goes out during a hot Texas summer, you can stay nice and cool.
Keep Food from Spoiling
When the power goes out, your fridge stops working. If it’s only out for a couple of hours, most of your food will probably still be fine. If it’s out for much longer than that, though, things will start to go bad. You could end up replacing your entire fridge and freezer stash! You could also end up losing any essential medications that you have to keep cold. That’s a lot of money and a lot of hassle! Save yourself the stress with a whole home generator. It will power your fridge and freezer in addition to your comfort systems, so you won’t ever have to throw out food or anything else that needs to stay cold.
Protection When the Power Comes Back On
Sometimes, return power does more damage than power loss does. When power first returns, it can be intermittent or have voltage fluctuations and/or surges. These can damage appliances, including computers or televisions that are on the circuit. Your generator will protect you from these so you can keep everything plugged in and use it as you normally would.
