Whole house generators are an excellent investment for homeowners who want to ensure they have power and their family is safe and comfortable during power outages. While portable generators are a cheaper alternative, they can only power a few appliances and can often be very noisy. On the other hand, whole house generators are designed to power the entire house and are much quieter than portable generators.
One of the essential factors to consider when choosing a whole-house generator is its power output. Allspark Electric can help determine how much power your home requires to run comfortably during an outage.
Having a house generator when there are frequent power outages allows your life to function when your neighbors are struggling to just keep their food cold. If you have many appliances or live in an area with extreme weather conditions, you may want a house generator with a higher output.
Another important consideration is the type of fuel the generator uses. Most generators run on natural gas or propane, which are convenient because they are readily available and can be piped directly into your home. However, some house generators also run on diesel, which may be another option to consider if you live in a remote area without approachable access to natural gas or propane.
Generac is one of the most popular brands of whole-house generators, known for their durability, high-quality construction, and easy-to-use controls. At Allspark Electric we have found that propane is easier on the Generac engine rather than using diesel or gas. However, other reputable brands, such as Kohler and Briggs & Stratton, are also on the market.
Allspark Electric can help you to figure out how much you will need and discuss the different whole-house generators available on the market. In addition, Allspark Electric can also advise you on choosing the right size generator for your home and help you choose the best location for installation.
Having a professional electrician install your whole house generator is essential to ensure it is properly connected and wired to your home’s electrical system.
Whole house generators are a wise investment for homeowners who want to protect their homes and families during extended power outages. Choosing the right generator, location where it is installed, fuel type, plus having it professionally installed lets you know that your home will always have power, even when the grid goes down.
