Summer Power Outages and Whole-House Generators

When summer windstorms or hurricanes cut off the electricity in your New Jersey home, it can take days to regain power. Northern Jersey’s ever-growing population, too, can strain the region’s electric grid. 


With an increase in storm activity, modern homeowners have to address a more frequent need for emergency power. A whole-house generator provides the following advantages.


Avoid a Power Interruption

Once your Glen Ridge electrician finishes installing a whole-house generator, you’ll be prepared for any power outage. One of the most impressive advantages of your new system is that your home will automatically switch to the generator’s power. The system detects a loss of electricity and immediately supplies backup power within a few seconds. 


Keep Essential Equipment Operational

Depending on the system your Glen Ridge electrician installs, you might use a smart mobile app to control the generator. The continuous operation and customizable control mean you’ll never worry about the essentials. Your major appliances, medical equipment, and other vital devices will stay operational. 


Give Your Home’s Value a Boost

When you decide to list your home, you need selling points that will attract buyers. The whole-house generator will be a big hit. As summer power outages become more frequent, many buyers will pay a premium for a home that offers a supplemental source of energy.


Enjoy Safe Comfort After Your Glen Ridge Electrician Installs a Whole-House Generator

Before installing your whole-home generator, your electrician will determine your home’s energy needs. You can install a generator that powers the essentials, or a system that temporarily powers everything in your home. 


No matter how much energy you want from your emergency generator, you can endure an outage without sacrificing your comfort.

Anderson Electric offers electrical inspections, repairs, and installation services, including whole-house generators in Glen Ridge. If you want to make it through summer power outages in comfort, we can evaluate your home's emergency energy needs and install a system that fits those needs.
