Power outages can last a few minutes or several days. Their causes run the gamut of winter storms, thunderstorms, and superstorms, vehicles crashing into poles and strains on the electrical grids. Whatever the cause of an outage event, maintaining power becomes possible through an automatic backup generator. Such a device activates upon detecting a power failure. Among the many benefits of having a generator, here are a few to consider.
Keeping Your Food Safe
In a closed refrigerator, you can only expect food to remain safe for a few hours of lost power, while frozen food will remain good for a bit longer. With an automatic backup generator, you keep the food and beverages at the proper temperature. You won’t need to fret about whether to keep or discard particular food items, especially meats, dairy products, and other foods susceptible to spoilage.
Stay Connected
From email to social media, texting, and other apps, you can get updates about the well-being of your family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances, the status of the return of power and important information from emergency officials. Having a charged phone can prove critical if you need an ambulance, police, or other immediate help. A Generac generator installation can replace the need for you to deplete your car’s fuel or batteries or to cut back on features in the name of preserving your phone battery.
Stay in Business
Keeping the power on allows your business to serve your customers, complete projects, and otherwise operate. While many estimates exist as to the costs of power outages to business, it cannot be denied that expenses will quickly accrue. Downtime from no power also means delays in production, reports, and other tasks.
Health Aids
Several health devices rely on power. These include motorized wheelchairs, sleep machines, home dialysis machines or respirators, and powered scooters. You can rely on a Generac generator installation to keep the batteries charged and these aids powered during a storm or other outage,
