Generators give you peace of mind when the future is uncertain. Whether your region is vulnerable to rolling brownouts during hot summers or you might have downed power lines after a winter ice storm, the right generator can keep your home safe, comfortable, and ready for anything.
At the Dailey Company, we specialize in giving Bryan and Houston-area homes and businesses the right generators to keep the power on. Take a closer look at the key benefits of generators for any property.
Reliable Power Backup
The main function of any generator is to provide backup power. Some generators, especially portable models, can travel with work trucks to provide onsite power at remote sites. Stationary generators offer reliable power for homes, offices, and commercial properties so a power outage doesn't become an emergency. When you have reliable power backup right on your own property, you can:
Stay Sheltered and Protected During Storms
Don't worry about traveling to get propane or batteries. With a generator, you can stay safely at home without going into the heat or cold. You can avoid the crowds at local big box stores and stay off icy, dangerous roads. Commercial locations also benefit from generators. If bad weather or an outage suddenly strikes, your employees and customers can comfortably shelter in your store until the danger passes.
Prevent Food Spoilage
When the power goes out, the clock starts ticking for refrigerators and freezers. But with a generator, you can quickly direct power back to your appliances so the food never rises above safe storage temperatures. As groceries become more expensive, this additional benefit of generators can give families even more peace of mind.
Restaurants and commercial buildings can also save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by preserving the integrity of their food's temperature records, as you won't have to throw away refrigerated inventory.
Critical Medical Appliances Stay Running During Outages
One of the most important, but often most invisible, benefits of having your own generator is to keep your medical appliances powered on. Residential generator owners can continue to power their CPAP machines, recharge their insulin readers and other medical devices, and keep their oxygen tanks or powered wheelchairs running smoothly. Neighborhood clinics and care centers also have a reliable source of power for hospital beds, respirators, and monitoring equipment to keep patients safe and healthy throughout the storm.
Portable Generator vs. Home Standby Generator
Both portable generators and home stand generators offer a lot of benefits. Portable generators can be loaded into trucks or moved back and forth between different properties or structures (making them a useful option for daily work and outdoor celebrations, not just storm emergencies).
Home standby generators, on the other hand, are wired directly into your property and automatically turn on as soon as they register a power outage. These units are bigger, more powerful, and are fuel independent for even more peace of mind. Professional installers can outfit your home with the right-sized generator to power your entire property or essential outlets.
Increase Property Value
There's another advantage of installing a home standby generator: it improves your property value. A whole-house generator can significantly increase the sellability of your home if you decide to move in the future. Commercial property owners can also see a significant return on investment by adding a professionally installed generator to their building.
