Whole-Home Generator Installation Fort Wayne, IN

A generator installed in your home can keep your lights, stove, refrigerator, freezer, fans, sump pump, furnace, and other essential electrical systems functional during a loss of power. This makes having a generator necessary for keeping your home or business operating smoothly in the event of an emergency. Some situations where a home generator can come in handy include:

• Blackouts: Especially during long periods of extreme temperatures, the power grid may not be able to generate enough energy to meet demand, resulting in widespread or targeted rolling blackouts.
• Inclement weather: Lightning, hurricanes, tornadoes, snowstorms, and heavy winds can knock down power lines and damage transformers.
• Issues caused by animals: Destruction of power equipment by animals is second only to severe weather as a leading cause of power loss.
• Natural disasters: Earthquakes, floods, and fires can destroy power infrastructure and cause widespread power outages for millions of consumers each year.
• Auto accidents: Unexpected interruptions in service can be caused by cars colliding with and damaging electrical equipment, such as power poles.

From hurricanes to snowstorms, floods, and rolling blackouts, having a dependable generator can help keep your family safe. Be prepared for the unexpected by calling our experienced team for a backup generator installation. Fort Wayne, IN electricians are licensed and insured to get the job done safely and properly.

Fort Wayne homeowners may be debating whether to invest in a whole-house generator or if they should simply get a portable generator. Here is a bit more information about each generator:

• Portable home generators: Portable generators are able to power a few essential appliances or devices in your home until power is restored. They must be manually started and connected to the necessary appliances. Portable models cost less than standby models, typically around $500 to $1,500, but they can only operate a few appliances at once. They also come with the added danger of carbon monoxide poisoning if they are operated in improper locations.
• Home standby generators: Typically powered with natural gas or propane, these generators are used in conjunction with automatic transfer switches and turn on automatically when the power goes out to prevent an interruption in service. But the convenience and peace of mind provided by these generators will cost you, as these units run between $5,000 and $15,000. The significant investment may be well worth the price tag, however, when your home seamlessly transitions to backup power whenever your electricity goes out.
