Are you and your family prepared for an emergency that results in loss of power in your home? Without a backup generator, you will be left in the dark. Installing a backup home generator can keep your family safe during emergencies.
A generator works much like the engine in your vehicle. A home generator creates mechanical energy by converting fuel into electrical energy. In case of a power outage, a home generator allows you to stay comfortable and safe until the power is back on. A generator can keep your freezer, refrigerator, furnace, pump, lights, fans, stove, and much more fully functional when you experience a power outage.
Generators can be handy in a handful of situations:
This type of generator is typically powered by propane or natural gas. It is used along with automatic transfer switches. They automatically turn on whenever the power goes out in order to prevent any interruptions of service. However, that peace of mind and convenience will cost you – a home standby generator costs between five and fifteen thousand dollars. This is investment is worth it whenever most of your devices transition to the backup power seamlessly when the power goes out.
This type of power generator can power a few home essentials until power is restored. However, a portable generator has to be manually started, and the appliances need to be connected to it. These models cost less than standby generators, from five hundred to fifteen hundred dollars. However, they can only operate a handful of appliances at once (usually not air conditioning). If they are operated in the wrong locations, the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning increases.
Properly calculating the total wattage for your devices is very important. This will tell you which size of generator meets your needs. East-West Electric can help you determine the exact wattage you need and will help you prevent getting an undersized generator that can overload at startup.
