Spring is notorious for some wild thunderstorms that have been known to knock out the power for several hours and in some cases, several days. When the storm is especially large and the outage is widespread, you are going to struggle to get basic necessities like batteries for the flashlights, canned food and stuff for sandwiches. You are also going to be relegated to cold showers until the power is restored. It paints a pretty grim picture. You can prepare for a power outage and avoid all of the issues caused by not having electricity by having a generator installed by an electrician. Glendale homeowners can rely on The Electric Connection to take care of the installation and answer any questions they may have about standby generators.

Standby generators are an ideal option for anybody who is not keen to go even a few hours without electricity. If you have somebody in the home that relies on electric medical equipment, you work from home or you have small children, having a backup electricity plan is an excellent idea. Standby generators are different from the portable kind and are installed as a permanent fixture to the home by a licensed electrician in Glendale.

The generators are extremely easy to use and don’t require you to do anything but add fuel from time to time. A switch will be installed by a Glendale electrician that automatically turns the generator on when the power goes out. You won’t have to run extension cords or deal with difficult to start engines. You will need to determine how much power your home needs to stay functioning so you can purchase the right generator. If you are not sure, you can always give the team at The Electric Connection a call to learn more about standby generators and how they can help you ride out a storm.
