All You Need to Know About Whole House Generators

Snowstorms, bad powerlines, and high winds are just a few of the events that can leave you without power when you least expect it. However, just because you are without electricity doesn't mean you have to suffer in the dark – watching your pipes freeze and the food in your refrigerator rot.

With a whole house generator, you can go about your daily business without any hitch. This means you would stay comfortable indoors with your heating and cooling systems running continuously, your sump pump powered properly, and your WiFi working as it should.

Whole House Generators in a Nutshell

Whole house generators are different from the portable ones you can purchase from your local home improvement store. For starters, they are installed permanently and you can switch them on immediately when an outage happens.

If you are like most homeowners, you are likely curious how they fare against portable ones. While the latter would be excellent for use outdoors, they are designed primarily to power individual items such as appliances or lights. However, they won't provide as much power as their whole house counterparts.

Portable ones are also more susceptible to energy overload and overheating. Whole house generators can also help ensure your house will never be without power if an outage occurs. Even if one occurs while you are away, you will have peace of mind knowing your appliances will continue working.

How Home Generators Work

Whole house generators are very efficient because they run on propane or gas. Often, you will also have the option to manually switch the generator on or set it automatically. Some generators will also allow you to direct backup power and prioritize several high-wattage appliances.

The Remarkable Benefits of Whole House Generators

Whole house generators provide many benefits. Some of the most notable include:

Improved Safety. Since they emit less fumes than portable ones, they are much safer.

Better Functionality. They can run endlessly without needing to be paused. You can also set it so it turns on specific appliances like your HVAC system or refrigerator during blackouts.

Starts Automatically. They can automatically start just a few minutes after you lose power.

Peace of mind. Since you won't lose your power, you will have peace of mind knowing you are safe even during storms.

Other enticing benefits include:

You can keep the AC or heat on

You can prevent your food in the refrigerator from spoiling

You can stay connected to emergency services

You can ensure power to medical equipment is maintained

You can stay calm and relaxed even during storms

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Generator

Below are some of the important factors you need to keep in mind when choosing the right generator to invest in:

The devices and electrical appliances you want to function during blackouts.

How the unit works in various temperatures. This is crucial so you are assured it continues to work even during summer blackouts.

The right size of unit that fits both your needs and budget.

How much you are willing to pay for it.

Also, before investing in a whole house generator, know how you can benefit from one by asking yourself the following important questions:

Is your neighborhood prone to experiencing severe storms or heavy rains?

Do you experience power outages several times each year?

Do you have lengthy blackouts especially during summer?
