Generators

We also help guard against power loss due to storms, ice, and other events. When the power goes out in your home, a few hours without lights and television screens may not seem like a potential emergency. However, consider how your furnace, air conditioner, sump pump, and other appliances rely on electricity to protect your family and property against severe weather. Having a backup generator can make sure that your home stays protected and comfortable through long power outages.

Most homeowners are familiar with portable generators. These are common sights at festivals, campgrounds, tailgating at sports events and boating. Portable generators provide on-demand electricity when you are off the grid. 

   When you lose power during a storm or for any other reason, some homeowners turn to small portable generators to provide supplemental power to appliances like sump pumps, refrigerators and lamps. Unfortunately, portable generators may not produce the wattage needed to power furnaces and air conditioners during prolonged periods of power loss.

A home backup generator is uniquely suited to protect your home and keep your family safe. These generators range in size of wattage and design. These are stationary units located outside of your home, like an air conditioner, and are always ready to provide power to your home. 

Home backup generators provide peace of mind by operating independently. These systems most often run on gasoline but some models operate on propane or natural gas. Our experts install a transfer switch into your home electrical panel. When power loss occurs, the transfer switch allows electricity to enter your home from the generator instead of the main power lines from the street. 

Portable generators are designed to provide supplemental power. Even large generators from a big box retailer have limitations. The signal from most generators is sufficient for simple appliances but can harm more sensitive equipment including smartphones, televisions and computers. Expensive appliances can also be damaged by improper generator use.

A web of extension cords and power strips presents a major risk of fire and damage to your property. Likewise, a transfer switch and generator that is not professionally installed risks compromising your electrical system. When you trust our team to install a generator into your home, we focus on safety and long term benefits for your home.

The ultimate solution in home backup generators is a natural gas generator with automatic start and remote monitoring. The goal of a home backup generator is to protect your home and family during power loss. 

• A natural gas generator does not need to be refueled because it operates just like your furnace. 
• An automatic start feature means power loss in the middle of the night or when you’re away from home does not interrupt your home’s systems. For homeowners who have medical devices or travel away from home frequently, this is a very important solution. 
• Remote monitoring allows you to stay connected with your home backup generator without venturing outside into the elements. Power loss typically occurs during extreme weather events including icy, snow and thunderstorms. Access to remote monitoring keeps your inside warm, dry and safe from harm.
