Here at Wave, we’re big proponents of homeowners investing in emergency generator installation. It pays to be prepared for the worst. With so much of our lives relying on electricity these days, it only makes sense to take steps to make sure the power stays on in your home no matter what. If you’ve ever thought about a generator or are on the fence about getting one, maybe the list below can convince you to start taking the necessary precautions to keep your home and your family safe and comfortable no matter what the world throws at you.
Extreme Weather
With the destruction in the wake of Hurricane Sandy a few years ago, New Jersey residents should be well aware that they’re always liable to catch some of the more extreme weather other parts of the country are more familiar with. As we all remember, the storm brought widespread flooding and long-lasting power outages. Many were without power for days on end as local governments struggled to bring the grid back online. Extreme weather, be it a hurricane or even a large-scale blizzard, is always going to be able to take out the electricity. Unless you have backup power in the comfort of your own backyard. These weather events are the #1 reason most homeowners opt in for an emergency generator installation, and it’s a very good reason at that.
Emergency Generator Installation Keeps Your House Systems Online
Something a lot of people don’t think about when the power goes out are your home’s systems that rely on electricity to function. Sure, you may not be able to turn on a light or charge that iPad, but what about your refrigerator? What happens when it warms up and all your food spoils? You’re out of luck, is what happens. During extended power outages, homeowners often find themselves tossing hundreds of dollars worth of spoiled meat and other perishables that thawed out after the refrigeration failed. Septic systems also rely on electricity to function properly, and a septic failure is something absolutely nobody wants to have to deal with, emergency or not.
Maintaining Creature Comforts In Emergencies
Your home is supposed to be a place you can be comfortable. A big part of comfort in the modern day is electricity. Think of the things we do to unwind: Watching Netflix, streaming music, browsing the web, video games, and even smart home appliances all rely on electricity to operate. While these activities are not 100% vital to you and your home’s survival, they can still help your family maintain a sense of normalcy during an otherwise upsetting emergency where the power would have otherwise been out. An emergency generator installation today means some added peace of mind tomorrow.
Increased Property Value from Emergency Generator Installation
If you’re thinking of getting an emergency generator, you’re probably already a forward-thinking kind of person. But something you probably didn’t consider is how the install would impact your property’s value. If you’re ever in the market to sell your home, the generator sadly can’t come with you: but it will absolutely be a selling point to any prospective buyers looking at your former abode. A backup generator is a downside-free addition to any home and you can absolutely get a few more bucks out of a home sale if you had the foresight to install one.
