Before Winter "Hits Hard", Consider a Whole House Generator

“Don’t wait for the first winter storm to leave your home without electricity,” cautioned John Lucera, Wesson Energy Vice President of Sales. “An automatic standby whole-house generator is a back up to an electrical system that operates regardless if anyone is in a home. Within seconds of a power outage, the generator automatically supplies power directly to a home’s circuit breaker box. After power returns, the generator shuts itself off. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane gas and is usually located outside the home.” 

During a utility power outage, an automatic standby generator provides numerous advantages over a portable generator and are recommended by The American Red Cross as a safer way to provide immediate backup power. A properly installed generator, located outside the home, reduces the risk of deadly carbon monoxide entering the home – a common hazard with portable generators,” stated Lucera.

An additional advantage of automatic generators is there is never a need for monitoring as they provide 24/7 protection regardless if a home is occupied or not, and automatically shut off when utility power returns. To ensure safety and adherence to all local, state and national electrical codes, Generac recommends that a homeowner use an authorized Generac dealer or licensed contractor such as Wesson Energy for the install.
