The Benefits of a Standby Generator 

All home and business owners throughout Illinois and Indiana depend on electricity. For most people and businesses, losing electricity for an extended period of time could be disastrous. Fortunately, a solution exists: the installation of a standby generator. Here’s an overview of what you should know about the benefits of standby generators and how to learn more about standby generator installation—

What Is a Standby Generator?

A standby generator is a backup electrical system that is connected to your home’s or business’s electrical grid. In the event that power to your home or business is lost, the standby generator will detect the loss of power within a matter of seconds and kick on automatically, providing power. Standby generators come in different sizes and provide a range of electrical power output. 

The Benefits of a Standby Generator

Both residential homeowners and business owners throughout Indiana can benefit from standby generator installation. Some of the key advantages of a standby generator are listed below—

• For residential homeowners. For the average residential homeowner, the biggest advantage of a standby generator is that a standby generator can provide peace of mind and enhanced comfort in the event of a blackout. Being able to keep the lights on, power appliances, and charge devices is a huge comfort. For some homeowners, having a generator can also be lifesaving. For example, those who rely on electricity-powered medical equipment could be in jeopardy if a blackout happens and they don’t have a backup source of power. 
• For businesses. Businesses in many industries also may be at risk of profit and business loss if they lose power. For example, restaurants that have industrial-size refrigerators could lose thousands of dollars’ worth of foodstuffs if power is lost; a standby generator can prevent this from happening. 

In short, a standby generator is an easy way to ensure that there’s electricity when it’s really needed.
