If stormy skies appear in the forecast, many families rush to gather flashlights, buy shelf-stable food and charge their devices, wondering if they'll live without power for the next few days. If you're looking into generators, you've probably already experienced this stress.

Even if you don't spend that much time on your phone or watching television, electricity powers many of the basics in a home, such as your air conditioning unit and refrigerator. Do you think you'd be comfortable without these modern amenities for more than a few hours?

• Computer
• Internet
• Air conditioning (AC) and heating
• Refrigerator and other household appliances
• TV
• Telephone
• Security systems
• Medical equipment

If you answered no to any of the above, a home generator is a great solution.

While losing access to your electronics is often enough to send you searching for a solution, there can be more serious consequences to losing power. A home generator installation can help you avoid heat risks from those broiling Florida summers, safety risks from offline security systems and medical emergencies from the loss of equipment such as forced oxygen.

Whether you're looking to prevent inconveniences or support yourself and your family during emergencies, a properly installed home generator can help you continue living life as usual, even during rough weather.
