Be Prepared With A Propane Whole House Generator

Written on: June 21, 2021

With Atlantic Hurricane Season 2021 already underway (and predicted to be another strong one), severe weather can strike at any moment this time of year in North Carolina– and with that severe weather can come inconvenient and potentially even hazardous power outages.

One of the best ways to soften the blow of an outage is to install a propane backup generator – a powerful piece of home comfort equipment designed to give you peace of mind.

Powered by propane and connected to your home’s electrical and HVAC equipment, a backup or emergency generator looks like the outdoor unit of your central air conditioner. The generator powers up automatically within seconds after the start of an outage, allowing a seamless transition to backup power.

Backup Generator Benefits

Today’s backup generators do much more than simply keep the lights on. Depending on the size and capacity of the unit, a propane whole house generator could:

• Protect your property by keeping your security system and sump pump working, potentially preventing hundreds or even thousands of dollars in damages and losses.
• Protect your health by keeping critical medical equipment powered up and running reliably.
• Preserve your food by preventing spoilage and keeping refrigerators working.
• Keep you connected by powering outlets to run and charge laptops, tablets, cell phones, radios, and TVs.
• Keep you comfortable by powering your AC or heating equipment, including your water heater.

Just remember: installing a propane backup generator is a job for licensed professionals with expertise in plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, along with local, regional, and federal flood, noise, gas, and electrical codes. It is definitely NOT a D.I.Y. job!
