Electricity is essential to daily life, powering everything from your TV to the refrigerator. When a power outage occurs, you have no way to use these devices and other crucial items. Even if you have a good relationship with a quality electrical contractor, there is no telling how long a power outage could last. For extended outages, owning a home generator is an absolute must. 

Top 3 Reasons to Own a Home Generator

1. Long-Term Supply

Blizzards and other severe weather systems can disrupt the electrical grid for days—sometimes even weeks. A generator will supply energy for your home’s necessary systems until power is restored. Make sure your generator can provide enough energy to power all your major appliances, including your HVAC system, during an extended blackout. Depending on your generator’s output, you may need to limit the use of certain devices or appliances until power is restored.

2. Backup for Short-Term Needs

In a time when more and more people are working out of a home office, even a temporary loss of power could be inconvenient. You don’t want to miss a deadline or lose a half-completed project because the power went out. A generator will ensure you have enough energy to save your work or get things finished up.

3. Provide a Boost For Outdoor Parties

When you’re hosting a backyard get-together, a generator can dramatically improve your party. Serving as a power source for lighting and music systems, a generator will ensure that you won’t have to draw power from your home, which could potentially overload your electrical system.
