Generators use gasoline, natural gas, and other types of fuel to create electrical power and store it in a heavy-duty recharging battery. This essential home protection investment will start automatically whenever the power goes out to ensure your sump pump, air conditioning, furnace, refrigerator, freezer, stove, and lights stay functional while your power company works to restore electricity. A residential home generator installation investment will minimize trouble during any of the following situations:

• Blackouts— Whether there’s a city-wide outage or a tree branch has downed a power line in your neighbourhood, blackouts can be a problem.
• Inclement Weather—All weather types can impact your local power lines, including lighting, tornadoes, heavy winds, and hurricanes that can all wreak havoc on your neighbourhood and cut power for days.
• Damage from Animals— Animal-related damage is the second most common reason homes lose power. When animals nest in the wrong place or chew through wires, your home’s power supply can be disrupted until your utility company, or an electrician can perform repairs.
• Natural Disasters—South Carolina’s climate produces various natural disasters, including hurricanes and floods. These disasters can often cause power outages spreading for miles and stretching across multiple states.
• Car Accidents—When a car accident occurs down the street from your house, it can sometimes damage local power lines and cause a service interruption. A generator is one of the best ways to ensure you're prepared.
