Power outages can happen unexpectedly, whether from a storm, natural disaster, or technical failure. While most of us are accustomed to relying on electricity for everything from lighting to heating and cooling, a loss of power can cause major disruptions. This is where generator installation comes in — offering a reliable backup power source to keep your home running smoothly during outages.
At Timothy Santos Electric, we specialize in installing both portable and whole-house generators, ensuring your home is prepared for anything.
? Why You Need a Generator
Generators are designed to provide temporary electricity when the grid fails. Depending on the size and type of generator, they can power everything from essential appliances to your entire home. Here are some reasons you may want to consider installing one:
Weather-related Power Outages: Snowstorms, hurricanes, and heavy winds often knock out power lines, leaving homes in the dark for days.
Health and Safety Concerns: If you rely on electricity for medical equipment (like oxygen machines), a backup generator is crucial for safety and peace of mind.
Food Safety: A fridge or freezer that loses power for hours can spoil perishable food, leading to expensive replacements.
Home Security: Alarm systems, cameras, and lights rely on electricity. A generator ensures they remain functional even during outages.
Convenience: Keep the lights on, the HVAC running, and your devices charged without missing a beat.
?️ Generator Installation: What to Expect
Installing a generator involves more than simply placing a unit outside your home. Here’s what the installation process includes:
Site Assessment: We’ll evaluate your home’s electrical needs and select the right generator size.
Wiring and Integration: Proper wiring ensures seamless operation and integration with your home’s electrical system.
Fuel Source: We offer options for natural gas, propane, or diesel-powered generators based on your preferences and needs.
Permits and Code Compliance: Our team handles all necessary permits and ensures the installation complies with local building codes.
