Generators for your Home: Home Standby Generators


BLOG

Becoming a homeowner can be an amazing experience for many of us; from purchasing your first house or finally buying your dream home, having your own place can feel like paradise. However, sometimes our slice of paradise can come with challenges.

We all know that disasters can strike at any moment and can leave you with more hurdles and financial burdens than before. But what if you could help soften the blow of the storms when they roll in? Well, you can. From making sure your insurance is up to date on your home value to choosing the right home service provider, these action items can play a vital role in making sure your home and surroundings are protected, or at least covered when disasters strike.

When it comes to choosing the right service provider, at BriteBox Electrical, we offer several options for products and services that can help to ease your mind and wallet during times of need. From surge protectors to panel breaker rejuvenation to our Generac generators, our services are there to be a pro-active step in providing you with comfort and peace of mind. But maybe you’re asking yourself if a product like a generator is really worth it? What kind of benefits would it have? Do I truly need one? Those are great questions! Let’s take a dive into how and why a generator can become not only a money saver, but potentially lifesaving as well.  

Why a Home Standby Generator?

Have you noticed how storms are growing increasingly worse as the years pass? Maybe you live in an area where any time it rains, your power flickers off and on, or possibly even goes off for hours on end. As the weather continues to progress and the threat of natural disasters increases, along with an aging and overworked power grid, the threat of a blackout seems to be more urgent and relevant now than ever before.

Installing a generator can provide the satisfaction of knowing when your powerlines fail to maintain, your generator will kick in as backup. Gone will be the days of worrying about your groceries going bad or your cell phones dying. Maybe you work from home and a storm is rolling in as you are about to present that speech you’ve worked so hard on; What would you do if your power suddenly went out? Or maybe, a family member living with you relies on life-saving medical equipment that requires electricity. Does it have a backup power source? By installing a home generator, you can help prevent those situations from happening in the first place. 

Considerations of a Home Generator

As mentioned above, a home generator acts as a superhero coming in to save the day as storms and other threats occur. We know that having a generator has some amazing benefits but there are some considerations before making a purchase. Generators can come in various shapes, sizes, and capacity of what it can or cannot power. Portable generators are great for camping, charging technology devices and similar items, but they don’t have the bandwidth to power a whole home.

A whole-home generator does just that, powers your home. However, this level of coverage can come at a higher price tag. Just like an AC unit or water heater, your generator also needs to have routine maintenance checks to help preserve and protect the lifespan of the system. The financial responsibility of owning a generator can be an investment, but the peace of mind that can come from owning one, along with the return on investment from the lack of disruption and increase in home value, can make it a worthy cost. 

At BriteBox Electrical, we are here to help educate our customers on all the benefits, and even the factors to consider when it comes to owning a generator. That’s why we offer free consultations to help determine if a generator is right for you and what generator best suits your needs.
