We have been getting a lot of thunderstorms lately which has caused us to experience a lot of brownouts. Since I need to be online and stay connected all the time because of work I have been thinking of getting home standby generators we can use whenever we would experience a brownout or blackout. I have not considered getting a whole house generator because it runs on parallel electricity.
Here are some advantages of home generators:
1. Automatic Start and Connection.
When the power goes out, your all-house generator system will sense the outage and start the generator automatically. When the outage is over, it will also shut itself down.
2. Appliances Work.
3. Shorter Outage System
All-house generators have your house back on line in around 30 seconds. If you are asleep, you may never even know it happened.
4. Safe.
Because you don’t have to touch anything, there is no risk of electrical shock. And because you don’t have to lift anything, move anything or pull a starter cord, there is less chance of injury.
I would like a small portable generator to help me stay connected to the internet. I do not need to have all appliances working – just my computer and internet connection. When the kids are home, I can turn on electric fans and a TV but our wattage consumption will still be low.
