Why You Need a Home Generator This Hurricane Season

Hurricane season runs from June through the end of November, which makes a whole-home standby generator a great investment for Bradenton homeowners. After Hurricane Ian struck Southwest Florida in 2022 as a Category 4 storm, Manatee County residents were without power for up to 10 days.

What is a Home Generator?

A home generator keeps much more than just your lights on during a power outage. Whole-home generators can power everything in your home, including refrigerators, ovens, laundry machines, and air conditioning. It turns on automatically within seconds when you lose power.

Portable vs. Whole-Home Generators

A portable generator helps you maintain electricity in one part of your home. A whole-home generator can power your entire house — lights, HVAC system, kitchen appliances and more.

Benefits of a Home Generator

  • Instant access to electricity during a power outage
  • Avoid dealing with dangerous conditions during a major storm
  • Power your home as long as the generator has fuel
