An emergency generator can be a game-changer when the power goes out. Not only is a lack of power inconvenient and frustrating, but it can also be downright dangerous in the winter. With a generator, you can turn the power back on at will, making you safer and more comfortable.

You could pick up a portable generator at the hardware store. When the power goes out, you’ll be digging it out of the garage, filling it with gas and stringing an extension cord to power a space heater and a couple of lamps. However, this doesn’t accomplish much other than to keep you busy when you’re bored with no power.

A much better solution is to have an electrician install a standby generator at your home. Kicking in automatically within seconds of a loss of power, you’ll forget the power ever went out at all. These generators will not only keep the lights on, but also the furnace and sump pump running reliably, and preventing your pipes from freezing and food from spoiling at the same time.

If you’re considering getting an emergency generator, give ATEL Electric a call. We offer a variety of generators meeting different power supply requirements. Our experienced electricians can also help you to calculate the ideal size of generator for your needs. Choose a model with enough power to keep the important thing like your furnace and sump pump working, opt for a full home supply that keeps every circuit powered, or something in between. With one of our emergency generators, you can enjoy the peace of mind and comfort of uninterrupted power.
