Many people are concerned about the possibility of power outages since the electrical grid continues to age while simultaneously experiencing more extreme weather. If you have been putting off installing a generator in your home, the time to act is now.
Temperatures are rising, droughts are lasting longer, storms are growing stronger, and snowfall is becoming more intense due to huge changes in our environment. Because of the generally warmer climate, sea levels are rising, making storms more intense and increasing the amount of flooding they cause. Additionally, higher temperatures cause the formation of clouds capable of transporting and discharging an increased amount of precipitation. Although we don’t live next to the ocean, we can’t say that it doesn’t affect our weather patterns.
As we transition into the fall and winter in Ohio, we can be certain that it is more unpredictable than we want to admit. High winds, rain, and hail can all affect the areas surrounding power lines. During the same period, the snowfall that occurs during the winter also grows. When there is more moisture in the air, there will be more snow, which can present a significant problem in areas like Knox County, Ohio, that aren’t accustomed to dealing with the effects of snow.
One of the most common asked questions we get is the concern on investment of our whole home Generac generators. Based on your individual needs, we think you will be surprised at the affordability we can offer to have this back up power source.
Ultimately, you don’t want to put off purchasing a generator until an emergency arises. Generators will be scarce during a widespread outage, making it all too simple to make mistakes. It would help if you did some research before purchasing a generator for your home to be sure to choose one that is the appropriate size and kind for your property. A generator that is inadequate for your needs will not produce the desired power and will wear down more quickly. On the other hand, a generator that is too large will cause fuel to be wasted.
By investing in a generator now, you can help keep your family safe during power outages and be prepared for any crises. Call the professionals at Weekley Electric today if you need assistance locating the backup power system most suitable for your home and your financial constraints.
