5 Benefits of Installing a Standby Generator
When the lights go out in Boone, life doesn’t have to hit pause. From surprise storms to grid failures, power outages can throw a serious wrench in your plans, but a standby generator keeps everything on track. With one in place, your home stays lit, comfortable, and protected no matter what’s happening outside.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Automatic backup power: Standby generators turn on within seconds of a power outage, keeping your home running without you having to lift a finger.
- Protection for appliances and electronics: Avoid pricy damage to sensitive equipment with a consistent power supply during outages.
- Comfort and safety: Stay warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and safe with powered lights and a security system.
- Added home value: A professionally installed generator can increase your property’s value and appeal to future buyers.
- Reliable fuel source: Connected to your home’s natural gas or propane line, it doesn’t need to be refueled during extended outages.
5 Signs You Need To Replace Your Generator
Traditionally, a power outage can occur from a tree falling on power lines or a car running into a utility pole. However, with severe weather doubling across the Northeast, South Carolina had over 51 outages from destructive storms off the Atlantic.
If you have an existing generator, age and usage can make it unreliable and cause it to break down, especially if you add more appliances to your home. Replacing your generator will ensure you always have reliable, consistent, and safe power and can keep your AC/heat, electronics, and medical devices running.
Consider replacing your whole-house generator if it:
- Is old, leaky, visibly damaged, or unable to turn on
- Surges, has frequent system errors or shuts down unexpectedly
- Needs repairs once or twice a year, and it’s hard to find parts
- Uses too much fuel and has an unpredictable power output
- Can’t keep up with new appliances or efficiency standards
