Generator Installation In Orleans, MA
When most people think about generators, they think of the portable style that allow you to move it from place to place. These are normally used for cookouts or camping. Spots where you need to run some power to, but don’t need a ton of energy. Whole home generators like the ones we install are a bit different.
Whole home generators are installed alongside your home, and only kick on when needed. If there’s a bad storm outside that knocks out your power, these systems have a sensor that notices the outage, and turns the generator on right away. There’s no need to go outside and flip a switch. After we install your generator, it is ready to go!
Why Should You Install A Generator In Your Home?
Like we mentioned earlier, lots of people think about the lights and the TV going out when the power goes off. This is true, and these are inconvenient, but there are a few other important items of note in your home that need power.
- WIFI & Internet Connection
- Heating & Cooling Systems
- Your Refrigerators/Freezers
- Charging Capabilities (Phones, Computers, Tablets)
- Lights
- Television/Radio
You should still always have a flashlight in your home, batteries, candles, and other items that help you out during a power outage. But there is no replacement for a generator that can kick the power on a few seconds after it goes out.
Generator Service In Orleans, MA
Along with installing generators, we also service them as well. Generators shouldn’t be running very often, so letting a professional take a look at it once a year is a good way to make sure it is working properly, and you can depend on it when the time comes. The last thing you want is a bad storm and the power doesn’t kick on when you need it to!
Some Generator FAQs
How Does A Generator Function?
A generator runs off of gas, and the kind of generators we install mostly run off of natural gas. We connect the natural gas line to your generator, and place the system outside, next to your home.
Do You Need To Turn On Your Generator?
No, your generator will turn on automatically as soon as the power goes out. It will kick back off once the power returns to your home.
Do Generators Come In Different Sizes?
Yes, generators come in many different sizes, to fit a home’s needs. The last thing you want is a generator that is too big or too small. We will help you find the generator that fits your home’s needs perfectly.
