Advantages of a home backup generator
In today's modern world, where electricity powers nearly every aspect of our lives, investing in a home backup generator becomes increasingly essential. Backup generators offer numerous benefits that ensure peace of mind and functionality when the grid fails. Below are some key advantages:
- Keep essential appliances running smoothly so you can cook, preserve refrigerated foods, and maintain your home/water temperature.
- Maintain safety and security by keeping sump pumps, security systems, lighting, and internet operational during outages.
- Power your EV Car Charging units to ensure your electric vehicle has enough battery for emergency transportation.
How do backup generators work?
Standby Generators
Powered by your home's existing natural gas or propane supply, a permanently installed Generac home standby generator automatically kicks on during outages. These generators are installed outside your home similar to an air conditioning unit - watch this video to see how.
In the event of an outage, power is delivered straight to your home's electrical panel for a seamless experience. Generac generators can also be monitored via mobile app or computer, giving you a simple view of your generator's status.
Portable Generators
Portable Generators generators also provide essential electricity during power outages, but are typically gasoline powered and need to be wheeled into position when needed.
They can power essential appliances via Generlink (Transfer Switch) that then feeds power to your home. While they may be noisier and slightly less powerful, they are a cost-effective solution for short-term backup power.
