This system allows you to power up all the important components of your household, from your water heater and refrigerator to your HVAC systems and even your electronic devices and medical equipment if needed. Read on as we uncover 4 main benefits of investing in a whole-home generator.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No Fuel Worries<\/span><\/h2>\n

When you have a portable generator, you have to refill it with fuel manually as it runs out. A whole-house generator connects directly to a propane or natural gas line so there\u2019s no refilling necessary. Your generator continues running as long as there is natural gas or propane available in the line. And most of the time, gas lines aren\u2019t impacted by storms or loss of power.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because portable generators burn gas, you have to leave the machine in your garage or outside and run an extension cord to the appliance you wish to power. Otherwise, your family breathes in the fumes. You don\u2019t have this concern with a whole house generator because it\u2019s already connected and placed in a safe way that doesn\u2019t pose hazards to your family or home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Automation<\/span><\/h2>\n

When you have a portable generator, you have to fill it up with gasoline and plug in whatever you want to power. If your power goes out while you\u2019re away, you won\u2019t know how long the power was off. Is your food still good, or do you need to throw it all out? A whole-home generator powers on automatically when it senses that your power is off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter what the cause \u2013 weather, an accident, or your power company working on the lines \u2013 your generator kicks on immediately. You don\u2019t have to hook anything up in the middle of the night or in the middle of a storm. Power loss will be one less thing you have to worry about in what may already be a stressful time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Increased Safety<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fumes from gasoline are dangerous to breathe in, as we already mentioned above. But the fumes are also highly flammable. A whole-house generator eliminates these risks by ensuring that the unit is well ventilated and fumes are directed away from your home. Still, we always recommend that you have a natural gas or carbon monoxide detector in your home to be safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
