When the power goes out in your Gardendale, AL home, you need a backup to keep things running. Learn more about the top benefits of having a whole-home generator for your home.
1. Maintain Climate Control
Your HVAC system requires electricity to produce the hot or cold air you need for comfort. When the power goes out, so does your HVAC system. With a backup generator, you can keep your HVAC powered, which is especially crucial for extended outages when the weather outside reaches extreme temperatures.
2. Keep the Lights On
Use your generator to power essential lighting in your home and avoid fumbling around with flashlights and candles. A generator allows you to choose which lights to power during an outage so you can navigate your home safely, even after dark.
3. Avoid Spoiled Food
You can connect your refrigerator and freezer outlets to the generator to keep them running during a power outage. Food spoils quickly in the freezer and refrigerator once you lose power, even keeping the door closed. A whole-home generator give you peace of mind that your food stays fresh and healthy.
4. Stay Secure
If you have a security system or outdoor security lighting, they may fail during a power outage. You can connect these devices to your backup generator and maintain security through a local outage.
5. Stay Connected
If you work from home or rely on an internet connection for other reasons, a backup generator can help you stay connected. Without the generator, you may be stuck heading into the office or local library to continue working through an outage.
Losing power to your home can be a hassle and decrease your safety and comfort. An automatic transfer switch on the generator monitors the electric grid and switches on when power is interrupted and switches off as the power returns.
