Power to the people: A standby generator connects to your home permanently and turns on automatically when power is lost.
(NAPSI)—When it comes to safe, reliable backup power in the event of an outage, homeowners have several options to consider. That’s important, because power outages are becoming more frequent due to an aging electrical grid. Many of these power outages can last for days—even weeks—at a time. This can lead to discomfort, spoiled food, lost productivity (especially if you work from home), increased security risks and the chance of flooding due to frozen pipes or a sump pump malfunction.
