Are Standby Generators Worth It?

Did you know that power outages happen almost twice as frequently today as they did just a decade ago?

It makes sense when you think about all the power we use to heat and cool our homes, power our appliances, run our computers, charge our cellphones, and now even charge our cars.

When so much of our modern life requires the ability to power up instantly and stay connected constantly, a standby generator is fast becoming a necessity rather than a luxury for our North Carolina homes and businesses.

Whole house backup generators: More important than ever

A propane backup generator is like health insurance – hopefully you’ll never need it, but if you do, you will sure be glad you have it.

A generator (like the ones we sell from industry leader Generac) kicks in just a few seconds after the main power has been cut off. Depending on the size and capacity of the unit, it can power everything from a few simple appliances to your full HVAC system – and everything in between.

Here are just some of the benefits your propane backup generator could provide in your North Carolina home:

• Life-saving backup power for medical devices – A whole house generator will keep emergency medical equipment up and running.
• Flood protection – Your generator will keep your sump pump working when the power goes down.
• Security for your valuables – A whole house generator will keep home security systems running throughout the outage.
• Charging power – A whole house generator will help keep you connected to friends and loved ones by helping you keep battery operated radios, laptops, tablets and cellphones charged.
• Food preservation – Generators can keep hundreds of dollars of food from spoiling.
• Comfort – A whole house generator will keep your heat, A/C and Indoor air quality equipment running.
