\n\nDifferent types of Generators<\/h2>\n
There are many kinds of generators on the market, but natural gas and liquid propane setups are the most common for fuel sources. \u00a0Some generators run on gasoline or diesel but dealing with these two types of fuel can become problematic over time if your fuel gets old. You want your backup generator to start when you need it. Bad gas can prevent it from starting, so we recommend the more common options.<\/p>\n
Natural Gas vs. Propane Generators<\/h3>\n
It is important what type of fuel you\u2019ll be using when planning the installation of a backup power source for your home or business.<\/p>\n
Propane: <\/strong>This source of fuel is an excellent option for homeowners and businesses. Some of the advantages of using this source are its long shelf life, easy to obtain, running quietly, and burning clean. The disadvantages of propane are that it\u2019s very flammable and more expensive to operate than natural gas.<\/p>\nNatural Gas:\u00a0<\/strong>This fuel is another excellent choice to consider when planning the installation of a new unit. Like propane, natural gas generators are clean burning and run quietly. However, natural gas has the edge over propane when it comes to cost and convenience. The disadvantages can occur during a natural disaster or server storms as uprooted trees can damage gas lines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nBackup Generator Installation and Your Home’s Value<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n
In addition to the peace of mind you gain knowing that your home’s essential systems will remain operating during a power outage, installing a whole-house backup generator can also translate to significant cost savings.<\/p>\n
In the competitive real estate market, properties equipped with backup generators are increasingly sought after. Consumer Reports notes that a whole-house generator can boost your home’s value by up to 5%. Moreover, according to a 2014 report by Remodeling Magazine, the installation of a backup generator can yield a remarkable 150% return on investment. For instance, a $10,000 investment in a generator installation could potentially increase your home value by up to $15,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Along with boosted home protection and increased home value potential, generator installation could provide homeowners with insurance savings. By ensuring essential systems like sump pumps, central air conditioning units, dehumidifiers, and refrigerators remain operational during power outages, you shield your home from potentially severe damage and associated insurance claims.<\/p>\n
A professionally installed generator for your home can sometimes allow you to save on insurance premiums, as well. Some insurance providers provide discounts when you safeguard your appliances from power failure and power surges.
