Powering Your Home: Unlocking the ROI of a Whole House Standby Generator
Hurricanes in 2008, 2011, 2012, 2017, and 2021 greatly affected our area: dozens of trees down, with plenty of telephone poles to match. Traffic lights were out and there was debris in the street. If you were one of the lucky ones, you had friends in neighboring counties to take a shower at every morning while your power remained out for nearly a week.
Should I go on and talk about the blizzards of 2009, 2010, 2011, or 2018?
Chester County is no stranger to extreme, yet unpredictable weather causing power outages. Whole house standby generators mitigate the delay in getting your power back, no matter the weather disaster.
Whole house standby generators aid in all types of power outage prevention.
Multi-day occurrences, like outages due to severe weather, are no match for whole house standby generators. Your service won’t be disrupted for the entire duration of the storm—just make sure to prep beforehand.
A standby generator also safeguards against power disruptions during the day-to-day. (i.e. when the electric company is messing with telephone poles down the street.)
With the increasing frequency of weather disasters that affect residential power, having an uninterrupted power supply is crucial.
You can use it for hot meals, hot showers, laundry, wifi, lights, heat, you name it!
Comfortable living doesn’t have to stop with an outage.
Although, you have to consider the financial side of things:
What is the initial investment cost, and can I afford it right now?
Will minimal operational costs, like fuel consumption and maintenance, be manageable expenses?
Might a generator be worth it in the long-term to save on spoiled food, hotels, and insurance premiums caused by property damage and business interruptions during extended outages?
Whole house standby generators can return the investment.
Weigh what a typical outage might cost you when you don’t have power, how often, and for how long they occur. Of course, this will be different for you in comparison to your neighbor.
All things considered, a whole house standby generator is going to add value to your home.
Peace of mind and safety can’t be quantified, but a whole house standby generator takes away the guessing game of expecting the unexpected.
Don’t skip a beat!
A whole house standby generator maintains your house’s heating, cooling, refrigeration, and medical equipment operation. Hospitals and schools have generators to protect the people within, and now you can do the same with your home.
Never stress about an upcoming storm again, knowing your power won’t be disrupted with your generator.
