Generators use fuels like gasoline or natural gas to generate electrical power using a heavy-duty recharging battery. When the power goes out in your home, the generator kicks on to ensure your refrigerator, freezer, sump pump, furnace, stove, lights, and air conditioning stay functional. Investing in a residential home generator installation with Mr. Electric of Baton Rouge now will prevent unnecessary trouble and discomfort in all the following situations:  

• Blackouts—Louisiana's extreme temperatures can impact your local power grid. In the most severe cases, conditions can make it impossible for the power grid to meet energy demands.  
• Inclement Weather—All types of weather can affect power lines, including lighting, heavy winds, tornadoes, and hurricanes. These rough weather conditions can all knock out your power for days.  
• Damage from Animals—Damage from animals is the second leading power loss cause, coming in behind inclement weather.  
• Natural Disasters—Louisiana's climate produces natural disasters like floods and hurricanes, often causing widespread power outages across the state.  
• Car Accidents—A car accident down the street can damage local power lines and cause service interruptions. Make sure you're prepared by installing a generator when an automotive accident knocks out power lines or a transformer.
