  • Generators use gasoline or natural gas and a heavy-duty rechargeable battery to create electrical power. When something knocks the power out, the generator will kick on automatically and keep your essential appliances up and running. Generators are especially handy for ensuring you always have access to a refrigerator, freezer, furnace, sump pump, stove, lights, and air conditioning. Having a residential home generator is an invaluable tool during or after:

    • Blackouts—Blackouts often occur as a result of extreme temperatures affecting the power grid. You may find your electricity down for a while as the power grid struggles to keep up with energy demands.
    • Inclement Weather—Lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, and heavy winds can all mess with the power lines. Sometimes, power may be out for days on end.
    • Damage from Animals—Did you know damage from animals is the second leading cause of power loss? Having a generator means you won't have to deal with the fallout from these critters' antics.
    • Natural Disasters—Floods and hurricanes are often on Louisianan's minds. Generators go a long way to giving you peace of mind during a natural disaster.
    • Car Accidents—Vehicles crash into power lines frequently, causing interruptions in service. A generator makes sure you aren't left in the dark.

Types of Home Generators

Our home generator installers have experience with all kinds of units. As you browse the different generator types, we'll discuss special features, price, and longevity. Over the years, we've recommended these kinds of generators to our customers in Lafayette, Broussard, and Scott, LA:

Portable Home Generators

If you only need to power a few essential appliances, a portable home generator is a strong option. This generator has a manual start and connects with the appliance you'd like to power, giving it temporary life. Portable generators run around only $1,500, making them an excellent choice for those worried about a steep home generator installation cost. However, it's important to note that they come with an increased risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if used improperly.

Home Standby Generators

Home standby generators can restore power automatically during an outage. Using natural gas or propane, the unit will switch on as soon as it detects an interruption. Customers who choose this type of generator enjoy increased peace of mind and convenience. But home standby generators come with a heftier price tag, costing up to $15,000 for select units.
