Top 5 Reasons to Install a Standby Generator for Hurricane Season

Florida’s hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. If you’ve been considering a standby generator, here are the top five reasons to stop waiting and get one installed.

1. Automatic Power Restoration

Unlike portable generators, whole-home standby generators turn on automatically within seconds of a power outage — no manual setup needed during a storm.

2. Power Your Entire Home

Standby generators connect directly to your home’s electrical system and can power everything — your AC, refrigerator, lights, medical equipment, and more.

3. Natural Gas or Propane Fuel

Standby generators run on natural gas or propane, so there’s no need to store or find gasoline during a disaster when fuel stations may be closed or out of stock.

4. Protect Your Home from Damage

Power outages can lead to sump pump failures, food spoilage, and other costly damage. A generator keeps your home protected even when the grid is down.

5. Peace of Mind

Knowing your home will have power no matter what happens gives your family confidence and comfort during storm season. Call Air & Energy at 941-778-0773 — we’re Manatee County’s Platinum Kohler dealer.
