Why Backup Power Matters

Why Backup Power Matters

Discover how backup generators keep your home safe and functional during power outages.

Stay Safe and Comfortable—No Matter What the Weather Brings

Power outages often hit when you least expect them—leaving your family in the dark, your food spoiling, and your daily life turned upside down. Whether it’s an unexpected storm, hurricane season, or grid failures, losing power isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a disruption to your home and comfort.

Why Backup Generators Are a Must-Have for Your Home

1. Peace of Mind in Any Emergency

Imagine staying safe and warm when the lights go out. A home backup generator ensures your home stays powered—no matter how long the outage lasts.

2. Protect Your Family’s Health & Safety

If you or a loved one rely on medical equipment—like CPAP machines, oxygen systems, or refrigerated medications—backup power is essential for safety and peace of mind.

3. Keep the Essentials Running

• Lights, heating, and air conditioning

• Refrigerators and freezers to preserve your food

• Water heaters, Wi-Fi, and security systems

With a reliable backup generator, you don’t have to worry about living in discomfort or chaos.

Portable Generators vs. Standby Generators—Which One Is Right for You?

Portable Generators

• Manual Operation: Requires storage and setup during an outage.

• Fuel Needs: Gasoline-powered, with regular refueling.

• What They Power: Selected appliances via extension cords.

Portable generators are great for basic needs during short outages, but they require active management and refueling.

Standby Generators (The Ultimate Solution)

• Automatic Power On: Standby systems kick in instantly when the power goes out.

• Permanent Setup: Professionally installed and connected to natural gas or liquid propane.

• What They Power: Your entire home—lights, heating, A/C, and high-wattage appliances.


With features like Symphony® II Power Management, standby generators even prioritize high-wattage needs like air conditioning and electric stoves. The system handles it all—automatically.

Your Comfort, Safety, and Convenience—Guaranteed

A professionally installed standby generator ensures your home runs seamlessly, even during the worst outages. Don’t wait for the next storm to hit—take steps to protect your home and family now.
