In the occurrence of a blackout, it is safe to have a back up generator as your backup source of power for your home. Depending on the size of your home it is important to make sure you choose the generator that best fits your needs. There are plenty of options to choose from, so do your research and make sure this is the investment that has enough control to power your home. Different kinds of backup generators can be used to power certain areas of your home like your appliances or to power your entire home. There are plenty of benefits to invest in a backup generator, one of which can keep your Royal Heat and Air HVAC system running.
Portable Generators VS. Standby Generators
Portable generators are normally fueled by gasoline or propane. These kinds require that you plug it in where you need it to power and do not need a professional to install it. To store, it is best to keep it at least 10 feet away to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
Standby generators are also known as whole-house generators. At whole-house generator will automatically power your home when the power goes out. It will detect an outage and start up immediately without you having to plug it in. Standby generators are typically stored as an outside unit, similar to a HVAC system and initially require a professional installation.
Fast Acting
Backup generators can boot-up within a matter of seconds! Power outages can possibly last for several days if the utility company is also experiencing issues. It is nice to have the peace of mind that you have a backup source of power in these circumstances.
Preventing Costly Losses
Have you ever thought what you would do to save your food in your fridge or freezer if the electricity goes out? Refrigerators and freezers preserve your foods for long periods of time, except when the temperature drops from an electricity outage. Food can quickly spoil if not kept at these cold temperatures, leading to an expensive loss. Prevent even having to throw all of your food out with a back up generator that will keep your appliances going while you don’t have power.
Running Time
A standby generator can power as long as necessary and can be powered by natural gas or propane. Portable generators need to be refueled compared to a standby generator that doesn’t need refueling. A portable generator requires you have multiple generators depending on what appliances you need to keep powered.
