In Florida, April showers do bring May flowers – but they’re also closely followed by more May, June, July, and August showers. Though our Sunshine State reputation is well-earned, there’s no denying that Florida’s warmest months are also punctuated by storms that can be pretty intense (and that’s before hurricane season even starts). Preparing for Spring and Summer in Florida means having a plan for staying safe and productive through the inevitable storms to come, and that starts with getting a reliable, high-quality generator. With more families spending time at home than ever, it’s never been as important to keep the power on than it is now. Today, we’re going over exactly why it’s such a good idea to be proactive about getting your generator installed in preparation for Florida’s signature spring and summer storms.
It Takes Time
It can take some time to find the perfect generator for your home. Some preparation and research is instrumental to making sure you choose not only the best-quality machine, but also the machine with the appropriate capacity for your home’s needs. Being proactive about contacting a reliable generator dealer now, before storms and outages become a regular occurrence, is a great idea to guarantee your home’s safety, comfort, and productivity when they inevitably come.
Figure Out How Much Power You’ll Really Need
The best first step is figuring out exactly how much power your generator will need to produce in order to give you and your family access to all of the appliances and resources you’ll need in a blackout. First, list all of the electronics and appliances that you’ll want to ensure stay on during an outage. Then, work with a reliable dealer who can help you calculate the amount of power each of these appliances require in order to stay powered up. Once you’ve determined the amount of energy your generator will need to produce, you’ll be able to narrow down your search to the machines that are most compatible with your home. That will make it much simpler to choose the right option for your home based on quality and budget.
Do Your Research and Find the Best Model
Once you’ve determined the amount of energy your home will require a generator to produce in a blackout, it’ll be time to consider different makes and models. We recommend Generac generators; not only is Generac the number-one residential generator brand in the country, but it’s also a brand that’s renowned for its silence, durability, and customer support. On top of that, Generac’s residential generators come in an array of sizes and capacities; no matter the size or electrical output of your home, the diverse residential line of generators will have something that fits your needs.
Compare Different Dealers
Finding a reliable dealer is every bit as important as finding an excellent generator. Your dealer will be a crucial point of contact for you as you pinpoint your home’s needs; having someone who you can trust to be truthful and to prioritize your home’s best interest is key. If you do decide to go with a Generac generator, definitely work with a generator dealer who has been awarded Premier Dealer status by Generac. This means that the dealer in question has consistently adhered to the highest possible standards of customer service, expertise, and inventory availability. In other words: a Premier Dealer has the knowledge, experience, and responsiveness it takes to give you the best possible assistance not just when you’re buying your generator, but long-term, as well.
Get Ahead of the Storm (and the Demand)
As storm season gets closer, the demand for residential generators will rise. Finding an available high-quality dealer becomes increasingly difficult as storms approach. The best way to get ahead of this problem is to begin your search for a generator now. Circumvent the long lines and high demand; by the time storm season comes, you’ll be able to take it in stride with the peace of mind that comes with owning a world-class residential generator.
In order to prepare for spring power outages, the best thing you can do is get a powerful, high-quality generator for your home. We hope the above tips have been helpful in getting you started.
