Find the Right Backup Power Solution for Your Family 

When there are high winds, ice, snow, or even heat waves, there’s always a chance the power can go out in Western Washington. In fact, in 2021, Washington experienced some of the worst power outages in the country!  

And the tricky thing about losing power is you don’t know how long it will last. Food may start to spoil in the refrigerator, and cell phones may start to die. Some families rely on electricity for medical devices, and in those situations, regaining power is essential. 

Waiting until there’s a power outage is often too late to buy a home generator—everyone else in town will have the same idea. So, if you’re thinking ahead to prepare for storms, you may wonder: What’s the best home generator for my family? 

In this blog, we’ll compare home generators and battery storage options to find the right fit for your home in the Greater Puget Sound, and surrounding areas. 

Gain peace of mind with a system that powers your home in the event of an emergency

In the winter of 2021, millions of people in Texas were left without access to electricity when the electric grid operator lost control of the power supply. Without power, homeowners were left with no way to communicate, keep themselves warm, or cook for several days. Generators quickly sold out, and for months afterward, the demand meant that buyers would not be able to receive their order until next year.

While the Washington power grid is not as vulnerable, it is still a lesson that it is better to prepare for an emergency before it happens. If the power were ever to go out due to extreme weather or another catastrophe, give your family peace of mind by having a generator on hand to run important systems like the furnace, refrigerator, and security system.
