Why Do I Need A Whole-Home Generator?
Extreme weather events and an over-taxed electrical grid are becoming more and more of a problem. A permanently installed home backup generator protects your home from unexpected and prolonged outages by powering your critical home appliances even when the grid is down.
Home generators run on natural gas, and sit outside your home, wired directly into your electrical panel. In the event of an outage, Generators supply critical power to your home’s electrical system until the electric grid is fixed. In the heat of summer or dead of winter, that means you stay safe, comfortable and productive until your utility company is able to restore power to your home.
What Are My Options?
Home generators come in many shapes and sizes. Larger units can restore power to your entire home, while smaller options can power just essential items like your HVAC, refrigerator and freezer. Ask yourself whether you need to be completely unaffected during a power outage or just ensure your comfort avoid the strain of being without essential appliances and the potential loss of your perishable food items. Arnold Electric installs backup generators to run sump pumps, security lighting, air conditioning units, water heaters, and everything in between, so you can face the next power outage without worry.
Keep Your Essential Appliances Running
If power goes out in your neighborhood, think about what appliances are most important to you.
- Refrigerator and freezer
- Central air conditioning
- Electric water heater
- Gas Furnace
- Electric garage door
- Microwave
- Electric or gas cooktop
How many systems you want to power with your generator – and how much power each of them requires – will determine the capacity of the generator you need. The team at Arnold Electric can help you determine which appliances are most essential to your needs and recommend the best generator for your home.
How Seamless Do You Want It?
