Generators In Dennis, MA
The best way to eliminate the possibility of losing power is by installing a whole home generator. Instead of crossing your fingers and buying candles and flashlights, a generator will ensure your home is powered, no matter what the weather is like outside. In Dennis, MA, we can experience some pretty serious storms, and power outages aren’t uncommon. This is why generators have become so popular on Cape Cod, providing power to homes in need of it, and peace of mind to the homeowners.
Generac Generators are one of the best kind of generators you can install for your home or business. We install this generator permanently beside your home. Most people think of the portable generator you may see at an outdoor event. Instead, these generators are installed as a permanent fixture. They are larger and more powerful than a portable generator, providing enough energy to power your entire home.
These whole home generators run off of gas or propane. If you have a natural gas line, you can hook it up directly to the generator. If you don’t a propane tank can be used to fuel your system. There’s no pouring gas into your system, or pulling a rip cord that starts the generator. The system will kick on automatically once your power turns off!

Why Should You Install A Generator In Your Home?
There’s more to keeping the power on in your home than the lights and the TV going out. Obviously, this is inconvenient, but there are other appliances that may be even more important. The last thing you want to deal with during a power outage are things like frozen pipes, water damage, mold growth, or expired food, etc. You also don’t want to have to stay in a home with no HVAC system! If it’s a humid summer day, or a snowstorm, you are going to want your heating and cooling to work! 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
It’s still a good idea to keep things like flashlights and candles on hand just in case. But, if you have a generator installed, you should be able to keep your emergency supplies tucked away!
