Be prepared for spring storms with a propane whole house generator

Severe weather can strike at any moment here in the Hudson Valley, especially during spring storm season – and with that severe weather can come potentially dangerous power outages.

One of the best ways to cope with the consequences of severe weather is to invest in a whole house backup generator – a powerful piece of home comfort equipment for your peace of mind.

Powered by propane and connected to your home’s electrical and HVAC systems, a backup generator looks like a central air conditioning compressor unit with a cap on it. The generator powers up automatically within about half a minute after the start of an outage, allowing a seamless transition to backup power.

Your backup generator: more than a light saver

The benefits of a backup generator go far beyond simply keeping the lights on. Depending on the size of the unit, a propane whole house generator could:

• Protect your property – Keeping your sump pump working during a power outage could prevent hundreds or even thousands of dollars in flood damage.
• Protect your health – If someone in your home relies on powered medical equipment, an emergency generator can literally be a lifesaver.
• Preserve your food – A power outage can spoil hundreds of dollars worth of food in as little as a day or two.
• Keep your valuables safe – An backup generator will keep your alarms working to protect your valuables.
• Keep you connected – Battery operated radios, laptops, tablets and cel phones will eventually need to be recharged; a backup generator can help you stay informed and connected to friends, family, and emergency services during an outage.
• Keep you comfortable – A backup generator could be sized to power your AC or heating equipment, keeping you comfortable and preventing costly damage due to mold, frozen pipes, and more.

Just remember: installing a backup generator is a job for experienced pros who know the ins and outs of local, regional, and federal flood, noise, gas, and electrical codes. To put it another way: it is NOT a DIY job.
