Many homes in our area rely on generators. This is just a fact. These generators, whether portable or permanent, are often the only resource you have when the weather gets bad or an unplanned outage occurs. And, depending on how things go, generator replacements or repairs can be expensive.
Well, for those who depend on generators, the holiday season has come early! We’re celebrating the holidays with 12 months of no payments, no interest, and $500 back on your generator purchase.
Upgrading to a Better Generator
So, what if you’re not certain if now is the best time to invest in a generator? That’s what the rest of this blog is for. We’re going to talk about why now is such a great time to choose a new generator in Bellingham, WA, and how an automatic standby generator can make huge improvements to your life.
If you’ve been using an old, portable generator, now is the time to upgrade. Automatic standby systems can turn on automatically, bringing a seamless transition from the power grid to your generator. This allows your food to stay fresh in the fridge even if you’re not home!
Safety Comes First
Automatic standby generators are often safer for families than portable, gas-powered generators. A new cleaner-running standby generator can be installed near your home with peace of mind that, when installed to code, there is no worry of hazardous fumes entering where you live. Older portable systems, especially when not used or installed properly, can risk these hazardous fumes getting into the air space you breathe. Remember: any generator can be unsafe if it’s installed improperly. A new whole-house generator can be safer than a portable system due to it’s clean-running capabilities, but it still needs to be set up by a licensed professional.
Also, the automatic standby nature of these systems allows them to keep your security systems and lights running when things go down. This means that your home might be safer and more secure with a new generator.
Now Is the Best Time
Why is now such a good time for a new generator? It’s simple, many of us are not dealing with a serious storm currently, which means we’ve got time to prepare and get ready by upgrading our power systems.
The worst time to invest in a new generator is either just as a storm is hitting, or in the immediate aftermath, since there’s a lot more that usually needs to be done (like chipping fallen branches, clearing up streets, and even fixing broken parts of your house).
Our team is working hard to ensure that customers get a generator upgrade at the lowest cost possible without sacrificing quality. Work with us to achieve this goal sooner rather than later!
