Generators In Wellfleet, MA
If you are sick of worrying about your power going out during a major storm, a generator may be the perfect solution! Installing a generator will protect your home from power outages, no matter what the weather is like outside. In Wellfleet, MA, we see all kinds of different weather, from rain storms to snow. When it gets bad enough, it can knock out the power to homes on the Cape rather easily. This is why generators have become such a welcome home commodity on the Cape.
Generac Generators are some of our favorite generators to install. This generator is permanently installed next to your home, which is a bit different from some of the ones you may have seen at a BBQ or an outdoor event. There generators are larger and more powerful, providing enough energy to power your entire home. There’s no pouring gas into these or pulling a rip cord to start the system. Instead, these generators will hook into your natural gas line, or use propane to generate energy. As soon as the power goes out in your home, these systems will kick right on and start powering your home!
Generator Installation In Wellfleet, MA
McDonnell Mechanical has trained experts who specialize in generator installation in Wellfleet, and all over Cape Cod. Our experts can come take a look at your home, and measure how much energy your home will require. Then based on what you need, we will recommend the right sized generator for your home.
The installation process is fairly simple. We connect your gas line to the generator outside. If you don’t have a gas line, then we install a propane tank for you. When the power goes out, the generator kicks on, and uses gas or propane to power the generator, which feeds electricity to your home. The process usually takes only a few hours!
Why Should You Install A Generator In Your Home?
Obviously, it’s annoying to lose power, and the last thing you want are your lights and the TV going out. This is certainly inconvenient, but there are other appliances that may be even more important. Some of the other big concerns for your home during a power outage would be frozen pipes, water damage, mold growth, or expired food, etc. Here are some of the other appliances and reasons you will want to have the power up and running:
- WIFI & Internet Connection
- Heating & Cooling Systems
- Your Refrigerators/Freezers
- Charging Capabilities (Phones, Computers, Tablets)
- Lights
- Television/Radio
- Sump Pumps
We still recommend that you keep candles, flashlights, and devices that can make a power outage manageable, but if you have a generator keeping your home powered, you should be able to keep the emergency supplies in the drawer!
