Benefits of Owning a Residential Backup Generator
As mentioned previously, one of the most important benefits of owning a residential backup generator is the opportunity to have power restored within moments of a grid failure. Other benefits include:
- Maintain comfort and safety levels during emergencies
- Keep medical equipment operating even when the power is out
- Protect home from power surges
- Convenient, safe operation during power outages
- And more!
Natural Gas and Propane Generators
When deciding to equip your home with a backup generator, you must decide which fuel source is best for your needs and budget. One of the top deciding factors when choosing a fuel source is the location of your generator. Most generators are operated off of natural gas, but if your home is not located on a gas service network your next best option is propane due to the cost of running a new gas line. Another advantage of propane-powered generators is the ability to store propane in tanks.
Once you have chosen your fuel source and location, your generator installation can be completed and you can have peace of mind, adding value to your home and safeguarding your family in case of disaster.
The Generator Repair Company You Can Trust
When you have something as important as a backup generator, it is important to ensure that it is operating properly. Each year generator owners should complete an annual maintenance checklist including:
- General inspection: Call a qualified generator repair company to perform an annual inspection on your equipment.
- Replace filters: A dirty filter can keep your generator from working properly.
- Check for leaks: A leaking generator isn’t a safe generator. Contact a generator repair company immediately.
- Do a physical inspection: Ensure all components are well lubricated and fluid levels are appropriate for the operation.
One of the most important things you can do to extend the life of your generator, as well as to ensure its operation when you need it, is weekly exercise tests. To perform this test, check the fuel level and start the generator. Leave it running for at least 30 minutes to make sure it is functioning properly. If you notice any issues with your generator, give G.C. Reliable Services a call and we will promptly be out to address your situation.
