If you ever face a power outage, having a generator can be a game-changer. In Canada, where ice storms and freezing temperatures are common, losing power, even for a few hours, can lead to major problems like damage to your home.

Investing in a standby generator can help you avoid discomfort, household damage, and unexpected expenses during a power outage. A whole-home standby generator automatically kicks in when needed, ensuring that essential devices keep running.

There are two types of generators: portable and standby. Portable generators are smaller, usually running on rechargeable batteries or fuel. They require manual setup each time you use them. On the other hand, standby generators are permanently installed, automatically turning on during a power outage. They run on fuel, so keeping some handy is essential.

Portable generators are suitable for those unable to install standby generators or on a budget, though they may require more effort to use. Standby generators, always connected to your home, provide a hassle-free solution, automatically supplying power during an outage.

A standby generator is particularly useful for:

1. Medical equipment
2. Sump pump
3. Security systems
4. Home heating
5. Refrigeration
6. Communication devices

It ensures your home stays protected, even when you’re away. NetZero Electric can help find the right backup generator solution tailored to your needs and budget.
