Don’t Lose Power—Get a Generator
It’s hard to know exactly when a power outage will strike. It could be caused by a lightning storm, or there could be a blackout in your city’s power grid. In either case, you’ll want to be prepared. A generator is a great addition to your home appliances, since it helps you keep living your normal life. Also, if you get a whole house generator, it helps all the rest of your appliances run smoothly. Blaze Heating, Cooling, Electrical & Plumbing performs generator installation in Winston-Salem, NC along with generator repair and generator maintenance. We can get your generator hooked up and then provide all the service you’ll need to keep it running throughout the years. Give us a call today or fill out our online form to contact us and schedule your generator appointment.
Types of Generators Available for Installation
There are two main types of generators that we install at Blaze Heating, Cooling, Electrical & Plumbing.
Whole House/Standby Generators
Whole house generators are ideal for handling blackouts since they are hooked up directly to your electrical system and turn on automatically when they detect an outage. You’ll often have less than a minute without power before your generator kicks in and saves the day. They run quietly in the background, and will power anything that you have plugged into an outlet. The only downsides are their price, size, and the fact that you need to get them installed by an electrician.
Portable Generators
This kind of generator is called portable because of the fact it can be moved around and stored when not needed. They are chosen due to their more affordable price, but they do have to be wheeled out and turned on manually if a power outage occurs. This means you’ll spend more time with your power out trying to turn on your generator. They also are much louder and can only power the appliances you specifically plug into them with an extension cord. The upside is that they are multi-use, and can be used for camping.
Generator Maintenance and Generator Repair
In order to keep your generator working properly, we recommend occasional generator maintenance performed by a member of our team. We’ll run tests to make sure that it will turn on if you end up losing power. We can also check for anything that will turn into an issue down the line and save you money on expensive repairs in the future.
Even with maintenance, sometimes things can go wrong with a generator. We also provide generator repair in Winston-Salem, NC so that anything that does malfunction can be fixed as quickly as possible. You may know you need generator repair if you notice fluid leaking from your generator, weird smells, or a lack of power.
