We've all seen or heard of the amazing devastation left by tornadoes and spring storms in different parts of the country. At one time, over one million homes were without electricity. Standby generators could have been a virtual life saver for those homeowners. Standby generators are no longer just an option for the well-to-do; they are an insurance policy to protect our families.
For many, electricity was out for a week or longer. A loss of power for only a few days can result in major problems:
No section of the country is secure from natural disasters. Our area sees violent electrical storms, flooding and of course - hurricanes. Any of these can threaten the community and thousands can be without power. Standby generators offer security from such disasters. There are models to run basic home functions, most household functions or whole-house activities. Automatic transfer switches can sense power loss and standby generators will turn on and begin producing power in less than 30 seconds.
