What Are Generators?

Whole house generators are powerful machines that can power your entire home when the power goes out. Some of the things a generator can power include:

– Appliances

– Air Conditioner

– Water Heater

– Lights

– Outlets

These generators can connect directly to your home’s existing gas line. They provide reliable power in the event of an electrical emergency.

Whole house generators are connected to your home’s electrical system through an automatic transfer switch (ATS). It automatically switches between generator power when the electricity goes out and utility power during normal operation. The generator’s engine starts automatically with the ATS when it detects a power outage.

The ATS cuts the power to the generator when the electricity comes back on and automatically returns power to the grid.

Why Do I Need a Generator?

There are many reasons why you should consider investing in a generator for your home. Let’s talk about some of the ways owning a home generator can improve your life.

Your Home Has Well Water:

Your filtration and well pump systems will lose the ability to provide you with safe and fresh drinking water when the power goes out. You’ll be struggling to find ways to get clean water for heating, bathing, and drinking when the power goes out if you don’t have a generator.

Your Basement Has a Sump Pump:

Many homeowners rely on sump pumps to keep their crawlspaces and basements dry. Losing power means you run the risk of these spaces and your belongings getting wet, especially if the power goes out due to a storm.

Food Spoils Fast:

Your refrigerator and freezer are two appliances that are essential to keep up and running during a power outage. It can be expensive to replace your food if it goes bad. You may have to toss food once you’ve been without power for a few hours.

You Use an Electrically Powered Medical Device:

You or one of your loved ones in your home may use an electrically powered medical device to stay safe. A power outage could quickly turn into a major health problem for that individual. A generator can keep those devices powered, ensuring the safety of everyone in your home.

The Benefits of Home Generator Installation

There are numerous advantages to generators beyond keeping your home fully powered. You, your loved ones, and future owners of your home will reap the benefits of your generator. 

Protection Against Expensive Repairs:

Power outages can cause multiple damages that can be expensive to fix. This can include:

– Food spoilage

– Flooding due to your sump pump not working.

– Burst pipes due to low temperatures.

These financial risks are minimized when you have a whole-house generator. Your freezer and fridge will stay on, keeping your food cold. Your sump pumps will continue working, ensuring water stays out of your basement.

No Power Disruptions:

The main benefit of a generator is having power delivered to your home at all times. Your generator will automatically switch on when the power goes out. You don’t have to worry about starting your generator and picking and choosing which appliances it powers.

Increased Home Value:

Installing a residential generator is a valuable investment for your home. If and when it comes time for you to sell your home, potential buyers will be very interested in the fact you already have a generator installed. Prospective buyers will enjoy the peace of mind, added security, and convenience that comes with a home generator – especially since you invested the money in having it installed.

Giroux Electrical Contractors performed excellent service from start to finish on a recent job at our home. We wanted to install some power monitoring on our panel, and I was a little squeamish about dealing with the mains. Giroux was able to schedule an appointment for the next business day. Jackson did a great job explaining what he was doing and answering questions along the way, while arriving on-time and being professional and friendly. Super experience with Giroux - I'd certainly recommend them and will reach out to them for the next time I need any electrical work done on our property.

Mike, from Giroux Electrical Contractors, Inc. was friendly, personable, mindful (took off his shoes upon entering my home), and neat. He was able to quote and perform the work I needed same day. He even went above and beyond changing light bulbs in my lamppost upon completing the electrical outlet I requested to the lamppost. Highly recommend Giroux Electrical and Mike! Thanks again!
