Top Five Reasons Why a Standby Generator Needs to be Dependable
Some of the most common reasons that standby generators are purchased include the following:
- Food Spoilage: According to the Chicago Tribune and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the cost to replace all of the food (for one week) in the average American family of four’s refrigerator is $273. This does not include the freezer, which more and more people are using to stock meat, one of the most expensive perishable items in a grocery store. For those who have storage freezers, additional refrigerators, or more expensive food, the cost to replace spoiled food from a power outage can be much higher.
- Pipes Could Freeze and Burst: Winter power outages present their own problems for those whose water is heated with electricity as opposed to gas. Water already in the pipes of the house could potentially freeze and burst, causing thousands of dollars in damage.
- Homes With Wells Cannot Access Water: 43 million Americans, or 15% of the population, relies upon private wells for their water, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. If your home relies upon a well for water, a lack of electricity means a lack of water. Faucets will run dry, toilets will not work, and showers and baths are made impossible.
- Sump Pump Failure: A sump pump without power can lead to an entire basement flooding, which can cost thousands of dollars to repair, or tens of thousands if your basement is furnished.
- Motels/Hotels are Expensive: When a home becomes uninhabitable due to the above reasons, a family cannot be expected to live without power for days and weeks on end, or with frequent and interrupting power outages. Motels and hotels are expensive, and leaving your home for a power outage is beyond inconvenient and unpleasant.
