Why Generators & Surge Protectors Are Becoming Necessary in Today’s Homes
Why Generators are Great in Wisconsin
Wisconsin residents are no strangers to power outages, which can be caused by severe weather conditions, natural disasters, or downed power lines. Due to these frequent interruptions in power supply, generators have transitioned from being a luxury to a necessity for households across the state.
With the increasing number of people working from home and the growing reliance on various household appliances and technology, it has become crucial to ensure a continuous power supply. A reliable generator can provide the following benefits:
Benefits of Generators
Prevent Food Loss: During power outages, refrigerators and freezers can stop working, risking the spoilage of food. A generator can help prevent this loss by maintaining power to these essential appliances.
Seamless Transition: Modern generators are equipped with technology that detects power outages immediately and automatically starts the generator to ensure uninterrupted power supply.
24/7 Protection: Generators are designed to automatically kick on even when homeowners are away, providing round-the-clock protection against power interruptions.
Remote Monitoring: With Generac’s Mobile Link™ technology, homeowners can conveniently monitor their generator’s status and performance remotely.
Why Surge Protectors are Great in Wisconsin
Wisconsin’s unpredictable weather patterns mean that homes are often at risk of sudden and severe storms. Alongside the necessity of a continuous power supply, it is equally important to protect homes from potential damage caused by electrical surges during these storms.
A whole-house surge protector is a vital addition to any home’s electrical system. It functions by blocking excess electrical currents from entering the home’s circuits, safeguarding electronics, appliances, and even the HVAC system from potential damage.
Instances where a surge protector can be invaluable include:
Lightning Strikes: Direct lightning strikes can cause massive electrical surges that can damage electronic devices and appliances.
Overvoltage from Downed Utility Lines: When utility lines are down, they can send excess voltage into homes, risking damage to electrical systems.
Bursts of Excess Energy: Sudden increases in electrical energy can overload and damage sensitive electronic equipment.
Faulty or Fried Circuit Boards: Defective circuit boards can cause irregular electrical currents, which can be harmful to connected devices.
