WHY YOU SHOULD YOU INVEST IN A STANDBY GENERATOR!

A standby generator is a power supply that will work within seconds of a power outage. It will provide power to your home or cottage whether you are home or away on vacation. As soon as the generator detects a power outage, it will automatically provide power. You don’t have to fear that your appliances will stop working. Once the power returns, it will automatically shut itself off without having to do anything.

The generator sits outside of your home just like an air conditioning unit does. It works on either natural gas or propane gas, which is efficient and easy to maintain.

The best way to determine if you need a backup generator is to imagine what your life would be like if you ran out of power for a short period. What would happen if suddenly your home was without electricity? What type of impact would it have on your business? Opting in getting a backup generator is a very beneficial decision.
