Benefits of Whole-House Generators

Written on: August 7, 2023

Equip Your Home for Power Outages

There are a number of compelling reasons to invest in a propane whole-house generator for your home. Here in northeastern Pennsylvania, we’re vulnerable to power outages all year long. In the summer you need to worry about thunderstorms. In the winter, there are ice and snowstorms to contend with. And there are non-weather-related events like a car accident knocking down power lines or an electrical grid failure that can leave you and your family’s home in the dark. But you’ll only be in the dark for a few seconds if your home is equipped with a whole-house generator.

The frequency of power outages has been steadily increasing over the past few decades. As a homeowner, you can gain peace of mind and prepare your home for the unexpected by investing in a propane whole-house generator. And Ace-Robbins provides both generator installation and propane delivery.

Benefits of a Whole-House Backup Generator

Whole-house generators keep your house running with minimal interruption. Less than one minute after the power goes out, your generator will kick into gear and start powering your entire HVAC system and all your home’s electrical appliances. Having a whole-house generator means you’ll be able to do more than just keep the lights on; you will also be able to keep your family safe and comfortable and protect your home and valuables in the following ways:

1. Protect your food. Your fridge and freezer will still be working and so will your stove and oven. That means no food needs to spoil and you can keep cooking.
2. Protect your home. You’ll avoid expensive water damage because you’ll still be able to use your electric-powered sump-pump. During the winter months, since your home heating system will still be working, you’ll avoid the stress and expense of frozen or burst pipes.
3. Protect your loved ones and valuables. With your generator running, your home security system will continue to protect your household. In addition, if anyone in your home depends on medical equipment, a whole-house generator will keep it up and running.
4. Stay connected. Keep all your important electronic devices charged. Stay connected, informed, and entertained while you and your family ride out the storm.
5. Protect your comfort. If the power goes out during a heatwave, your generator will make sure your home’s AC continues to keep your home comfortably cool. In the winter months, even if you have a gas furnace or boiler, you need electricity for important components, including safety monitoring and ignition systems. So, without electricity, your home can’t stay warm during cold weather. A whole-house generator solves that problem.

How much propane do you need?

As a general rule of thumb, you should have enough propane in your tank to keep your generator running for one week if there’s a power outage.
