The Benefits of Whole
HoME Generators
When it comes to power outages, natural
disasters, or preparing for a snowy
winter, whole home generators are
definitely the backup generator of choice
for most homeowners.
What is a whole home generator?
Have an idea of how whole house generators
work, chances are you also have a good idea
of the potential power they can offer your
home. But do you know all the other benefits
they provide during power outages?
Safer Than Portable
Generators
Portable generators have lower operating power
than standby generators, but on top of this,
these are filled with more potent chemicals
like carbon monoxide. A standby generator
means fewer chemicals & fumes, which gives
you better air quality & safety benefits. The
design of whole home generators provides
faster response times, so you won’t have to
worry about the delays or additional worries
that come with portable generators. Using a
trusted brand of generator also provides the
safety features you want out of a backup
generator.
Saunders Electric is a Generac
certified company, which means we can
provide the safety and backup features
you look for in a whole home generator.
Increased Efficiency
Unlike most generators, whole house generators
are wired into your home’s electrical system.
You’ll have the power back in a flash thanks to
the automatic transfer switch that provides
power to your home. All you need is a supply
of natural gas to help power your whole home
generator. The increased size & durability means
you can power things like HVAC systems, stoves,
A/C, fridges, & the water heater in your home.
Additional Peace of Mind
Since whole house generators can supply power
for longer periods of time, you don’t have to
worry about losing access to important medical
supplies, & large appliances that a portable
generator isn’t typically capable of powering.
Plus, you’ll never have to turn on the generator
yourself, due to the automatic transfer switch.
Long term, whole house generators are a very
cost-effective investment compared to other
types of generators. During the winter months,
losing access to heat or risking frozen pipes is
a gamble that comes with a high price tag.
A whole house generator prevents these
problems from happening and prevents
the unexpected expenses we don’t want
around the holidays.
