Benefits of Backup Generator Installation, Nationwide

Backup Generators Provide Peace of Mind During Power Outages

A standby generator or portable backup generator can power multiple devices or your entire home during a power outage. If you want to make sure that lights, security systems, WiFi, phone chargers, heating and cooling systems, and your stove or microwave will still work during a power outage, you need a home backup generator. A whole-home generator can even turn on automatically and power critical safety and medical equipment until your power can be restored. At Provident Electric, we offer installation, maintenance, and repair of backup generators in Frederick, MD. Our experienced residential electricians can help you determine what type of home generator system you need. Learn more about how backup generators can provide peace of mind during power outages.

Automatic Power Restoration

A whole-home or standby generator operates using a transfer switch. This means that when it senses a power outage, it automatically switches your home’s power source from your electric grid to your generator. There will only be a short interruption in power, typically 30 seconds to one minute. Automatic power restoration ensures that important appliances, devices, and equipment will remain functional until your power is restored. This is especially crucial if you or a family member relies on medical monitoring equipment or medical devices, or if you live in an area with extreme temperatures and may face health and safety issues due to the heat or cold.

Long-Term Power Solutions

A backup generator or portable generator can provide long-term power solutions in both routine and emergency situations. A portable generator can supply power to small devices or equipment in remote or rural areas that don’t have easy access to power supplies. You can take a portable generator with you when you go camping or if you are working at a remote job site. You can also use one to supply power to a workshop or shed that is too far from your house to safely connect to your main power supply. Depending on the size of the backup generator you use and your fuel supply, you can get hours or even days of power for your devices.

Emergency Preparedness Benefits

If you live in a remote area or an area that regularly experiences heavy storms and power outages, a backup generator is an important element of your emergency safety plan. A backup generator will maintain the safety, security, and comfort of your home throughout a power outage. You can make sure you have food to eat, a way to cook food, access to light and phone chargers, and reliable heating and cooling.

Rugged and Weather-Resistant Generator Designs

Generac generators are highly durable, rugged, and weather-resistant. These portable generators are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, wind, rain, and moisture. They can handle any terrain or environment and provide safe, consistent, and reliable power solutions when you need them most. Even if you are camping or are in a rural or remote area without access to reliable power, you can depend on Generac’s rugged generator designs to provide power and protect your safety and comfort.

Home Appliance Compatibility

Home standby generators and portable generators allow you to power home appliances for hours or even days. Depending on the size and type of generator you use, you can power multiple appliances at once. For instance, a standby generator can easily power a refrigerator, washer and dryer, heating and cooling system, lights, phone chargers, modem and router, television, radio, electric stove and oven, microwave, toaster oven, space heater, fan, medical equipment, and more.

Integrated Safety Features

Modern generators have integrated safety features that protect you and your family while they are in use. You can enjoy access to long-term power solutions without worrying that you will compromise your health or safety. Generac generators have overload protection and will shut off if they are overloaded. They will also automatically shut off if they sense the oil level is low, there is a wiring error, or the generator is overheating. They also have an emergency shutoff button, locked fuel access, and controllers to prevent damage or tampering. Generac portable generators have COsense Technology that detects carbon monoxide levels and automatically turns the generator off when it senses carbon monoxide.
