Why you need a generator?

There are many reasons to install a backup generator, including: weather-related power outages, non-weather related power outages and natural disasters. 


Generators can be used at homes, offices and industrial businesses. In addition to providing emergency power in case of a crisis, generators can also help reduce your monthly energy bills by using less electricity during peak hours. For example, if you have an electric water heater that runs on gas, you could set up your generator so that it powers your water heater during peak hours when rates are highest. This would allow you to save money on your monthly bill while still having hot water during an outage.


What kind of generator do I need?

Generators can be tailored to almost any need and sized accordingly. If you’re looking to purchase a generator, first think about what it will be used for. Larger homes and buildings will require more wattage than smaller ones. Your energy usage is also something to consider, particularly if you run more than one high-energy device at once (e.g., lights, computers, appliances). When purchasing a generator, ask how many watts your system will provide so that you know what size unit to get.


How can generators save you in an emergency situation?

While you hope that you’ll never have to face an emergency situation, it’s important to prepare yourself and your family. Generators are one way to help ensure your security and can be used in many different situations. Generators run on fuel such as natural gas or propane and provide power when needed during emergencies.


What are the costs associated with installing a generator in my home or business premises?

The costs associated with installing a generator vary greatly depending on a number of factors. The size of your generator is one of these factors. Smaller generators are often more cost-effective, but you may be able to save money by purchasing larger generators that produce more energy, which can be sold back to your power provider at a later date.
