Although we’re getting ahead of ourselves when talking about the winter season, this is a good time to start preparing and making sure you’re home is ready for the winter weather. Winter brings more than plush falling snow over ice-capped hills; it can also rear its ugly head in the form of harsh winter storms, savagely wiping out your home’s power. When this happens, you’ll need a plan B: a backup generator.

Why Invest in a Backup Generator

Functionality

If your power goes out, you can’t function properly. Food will spoil because the fridge isn’t powered. That’s a lot of money gone to waste, especially if power is out for an extended period of time. What about your home’s security? Power outages affect home security systems. Home medical equipment that also depends on power to operate is also affected. This could gravely become a life or death situation if there is no quick way of turning the power back on.

Stay Warm

If you’re going to be cooped up in your house for a few days because of piling snow, you’ll want to be comfortable in your home. That means taking safety into your own hands by making sure you have backup heat. This is especially true if you own a home-based business. Your livelihood depends on it!

Prevent Flooding

Without backup power, how will you be able to run your sump pump? You’re going to need it if runoff from melting ice and snow flows into your basement, which is detrimental to the structure of your home and will result in costly repairs.

At GenTech Generators, we’ve seen the damage a brutal winter storm can do to the functioning of a home. That’s why we use a top-rated line of Cummins Generators during our installations. Find out how resilient these machines really are in the face of ugly winter weather!

Businesses that Need Backup Generators

Backup generators are responsible for saving lives and businesses when the power goes out. When you take a closer look at all of the ways you use electricity on a daily basis, it’s easy to see that you don’t want to be without power if you can help it. For some businesses, it’s even more important than others to have a backup generator. Not having one could prove very costly.

Here are some businesses you wouldn’t think that rely on backup generators:

Bakeries

When it comes to places that need backup generators, establishments that deal with food and health code regulations such as restaurants usually come to mind. Unfortunately, most people don’t think about a small bakery needing that same backup.

A bakery has the same health codes that a restaurant has, and while a lot of the inventory may be shelf-stable, there are a lot of delicate ingredients such as butter, eggs, fruit, and cream that could quickly be destroyed.

Commercial Real Estate Properties

As a landlord, you can really improve your tenant’s experience, reduce your turnover rate, and create a competitive edge by having backup generators on your properties. Not having to worry about losing power goes a long way with tenants, which means you can set the rent a little higher and you probably won’t have to worry about having empty properties for very long. With more people working remotely, backup generators are a must for landlords.

Construction Sites

When it comes to construction, you may use a backup generator for power if you lose electricity, but more than likely, that generator will be the only source of power you have on new construction sites. Having one you can rely on is essential to finishing the job on time. With construction speeding up their process to meet deadlines due to the pause in construction around the country this past year, backup generators play a bigger role now.

Convenience Stores

Convenience stores are the stores that are open usually all night because they need to be. If a severe storm hits and knocks out the power of other supermarkets or other stores, a convenience store can sometimes be the last resort for many people. If it’s late at night and a person’s home is without power, it’s important for them to have somewhere to go to grab some essentials.

If you run a business that can’t afford to lose power, you need a backup generator you can trust. Contact GenTech Generators at 301-469-7800 or visit us online for more information!
