Power outages are an unavoidable occurrence every now and then, especially during thunderstorms, and can cause faults at power stations or damage to electric transmission lines. Despite being costly, having standby electrical generators can immediately provide electricity to your home and prevent you from spending on repairs of possibly affected equipment. Here are five main benefits of installing whole house generator systems.
1. Detection of Power Outages
Modern backup generators have an automatic function of switching on instantly as they detect power outages. As a result, you don’t have to worry about sprinting to your home’s generator unit to turn it on so unwanted damages won’t take place.
2. Food Preservation
Refrigerator units can only sustain life of perishable goods for about four hours without electricity. When a power outage is prolonged and exceeds that time frame, it will mean spoiled meat and eggs, which is never good for any homeowner’s health.
3. HVAC System
Storms can be extremely tough and unforgiving to our homes. When they unexpectedly punish electrical lines as well, it leads to power outages and even power surges, compromising your home’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. It further proves that an early backup generator installation can prevent you from being exposed to uncomfortable temperatures.
4. Plumbing System
A sump pump is installed in the lowest part of the basement, keeping that area of your home dry. When the power is out, and flooding occurs, expect water to rise above your floor and weigh heavy on your expenses. On the other hand, when there’s not enough heat to warm up the plumbing system during an outage, pipes can freeze and burst, causing you another costly repair.
