Be Prepared: Whole Home Generators
For Louisiana homeowners, power outages aren't just an occasional inconvenience; they can be downright disruptive. From spoiled groceries to days without air conditioning during dangerous heat waves, losing electricity during storm season is a frustration most of us know too well. And for those who depend on medical devices, a sudden blackout can become life-threatening in moments.
If you’re tired of being left in the dark, it might be time to consider a whole-home generator. These powerful and efficient systems guarantee you've got reliable power, rain or shine,
Let's explore what makes a whole-home generator the smart choice for Louisiana homeowners, and how you can get one professionally installed with ease.
Louisiana Storms & Power Outages: A Common Problem
Louisiana’s storm season is as predictable as it is relentless. The humid summers, afternoon thunderstorms, and regular hurricanes lead to frequent disruptions in power. Cities like Shreveport and Bossier City have seen significant increases in customer complaints over power outages in recent years.
Tired of ruined groceries, risky levels of exposure in extreme weather, and the many other costs that come with power outtages? A whole-home generator could be the solution your family needs to stay safe and prepared.
What Is a Whole-Home Generator?
A whole-home generator does more than just power a few household devices during an outage. Connected directly to your home’s electrical panel, it provides backup power to your entire house, seamlessly.
The magic happens with its automatic transfer switch, which detects a power outage in real time. Within seconds, the generator kicks on and restores electricity to every corner of your home. Whether it’s your HVAC system, refrigerator, lights, or medical devices, a whole-home generator keeps your household running without skipping a beat.
These systems are typically powered by natural gas or propane, meaning there's no need for messy refueling during a storm. Plus they sit conveniently outside your home, similar to a central air conditioning unit.
Which Generator Is Right For Me?
You might be wondering, what’s the difference between a whole-home generator and a standard standby or portable generator? Here’s how they compare:
Whole-Home Generator Benefits:
Automatic Power Restoration: Activates within seconds of an outage, no manual operation needed.
Powers the Entire Home: You won’t have to choose between running the fridge or the air conditioner.
No Refueling Required: Connected to a fuel source, such as natural gas or propane, for uninterrupted use.
Safe Operation: With a transfer switch professionally installed, there’s no need for messy cords or manual hookups.
Portable Generator Drawbacks:
Requires manual setup and operation during each outage.
Typically only powers select appliances or circuits.
Relies on frequent refueling with gasoline or diesel, which can be difficult to get and maintain during emergencies.
While the upfront cost of a whole-home generator is higher, the unrivaled convenience, safety, and reliability are well worth the investment for many families.
