Reasons to Consider Standby Generator for Your Home Part 4 of 4

Communication Channels

In less than two decades, the use of landline phones has plummeted from 90% of households down to only 40%. Of those that have landlines, the majority are run by older generations. If you don’t have a landline, you will have to rely on your cellular devices for communication.

Normally, this would be fine, but when your power goes out you lose the ability to power your devices. As your devices run low on battery, you lose the ability to call for help and keep in contact with family and friends.

By having a generator on hand, you can keep your essential devices charged and functional. In the case of an emergency, you can call for help without hesitation. You can also use your devices to continue checking for alerts from the authorities and local government to stay updated on the power outage.

Frequent Power Outages

Some areas have the poor infrastructure or frequent bad weather, and people suffer from more outages than normal. If you live in an area where you experience frequent power outages, it’s worth the investment to get a standby generator. Otherwise, you’ll be putting yourself through discomfort and unexpected costs too often.

You’re Away From Home For Long Periods

Even if you don’t lose power that often, it can pay off to have a standby generator if you’re not always home. If you go on vacation or leave for several hours or days for work, a power outage can mean your house fending for itself. If you’re not home to move your food into coolers or hook up your security systems to a new power source, for example, your food will spoil and your house will be at risk of crime.

A standby generator will protect your house while you’re not home, even if you don’t know you’ve lost power. The last thing you need is to come home from a week-long vacation to find that everything in your fridge is bad and your home has flooded without the help of your sump pump.

Invest in a Standby Generator

Don’t hesitate any longer. Every day without a standby generator is a day you’re risking your money, comfort, and even your life. Having a whole home generator will give you peace of mind and save you hundreds of dollars in unexpected expenses.
