Why Invest in a Generator?

Severe weather is the single leading cause of power outages in the United States. The amount and severity of these outages has spiked dramatically over the past decade, causing physical, emotional and economic hardship for many Americans.

In the Carolinas, we are exposed to many weather related power outages year round - hurricanes, wind, hail, snow, ice, lightning, and lately, tornadoes. There are also times when our utility company’s have equipment failure or supply shortage.

When the power goes out:

  • Your food is the first to go bad and that is a very big expense.

  • You will lose your connection to the world: TV, Computer, Phone charging ability, This can also pose a safety issue if you cannot contact emergency services.

  • You will have to live by candle light.

  • Your HVAC systems will not work and depending on the season you could become very uncomfortable very quickly. This can also lead to mold or pipes freezing if the power is out for an extended period of time.

  • You may not have running water and worse yet not be able to use your sump pump, run the washing machine, take a shower and more.

  • You may have to seek alternative shelter which can get expensive and inconvenient.

  • Your security system will not work.
