What
Are the 4 Major Benefits of a Standby Generator?
Many people will try to sell you on the benefits on power generators,
but seldom will they tell you the long term benefits of a standby
generator. Standby generators have much more long term value then their
portable or gasoline operated counterparts.
They are built to be a long term solution for those in areas that are
under constant threat of loosing their power due to blackouts,
tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes. Here are four major long term
benefits of having a standby generator in for your home.
Longer
run times
Standby generators are made to have long run times. This is a good
selling point for those who suffer through power outages for days at a
time when the type of natural disasters occur that I mentioned above.
The only time you will have to turn them off is when you have to change
the oil for maintenance. This is rather easy to do and should not
present a problem at all.
They offer more power for your home to run more
things
Standby generators are made to handle large loads of electricity. You
see when you buy a lesser generator you can usually only use them to
power the main appliances in your home. With a standby generator you
can power many areas of your home if not the whole house depending on
how powerful it is. There are standby generators out there that will do
this, but these tend to be some of the most expensive options and many
people go for a lower cost solution.
Increased value for your home
Standby generators will make the value of your home go up once you have
it installed. A standby generator will be used as a selling point if
and when you might decide to sell your home. In many cases it might be
the one selling point to push the final buying decision. The value of
your home goes up because these types of generators can be costly
depending on the kind you want and the power level.
Most standby generators automatically
start
Standby generators start automatically to begin powering your home.
Their response time is usually about ten to thirty seconds. This means
if you should ever be away for whatever reason, or if you are elderly
and do not have too much experience in dealing with such things you
will not have to worry because the power generator will
automatically detect the power outage and go to work generating power
to keep your electricity going.
Besides from all the long term benefits I just mentioned you might want
to consider a standby generator as a backup plan in case your power is
turned off for an extended period of time. The lesser options are not
built to do this.
