How many times did you lose power this past fall and winter? If the answer is more than once, or if you were without power for longer than a few hours, chances are you could benefit from a backup generator.
“Power outages can be a costly and frustrating inconvenience for everyone. If you live in a remote or rural area, you’ve likely experienced the pain of having to throw out an entire fridge and freezer’s worth of food after an extended outage,” says Ted Fox, owner of Fox Plumbing, Heating, Cooling and Electrical.
“Whether you want to prioritize just your fridge and freezer or power the whole house, there’s a backup generator to suit your needs and your budget.”
5 reasons you should consider investing in a backup generator this spring:
- Long-lasting: Generators can last 15 years or longer, making them a fantastic long-term investment for your home.
- Increase in resale value: Generators increase home resale value by three to five per cent on average.
- Easy maintenance: Most generators run on liquid propane, gas, diesel or natural gas and require minimal maintenance outside of regular servicing every 6 to 12 months.
- No more spoiled food: A fully packed freezer can maintain temperatures for around 48 hours, and a partially full freezer lasts only 24 hours during an outage. Meanwhile, a fridge can stay cold for around four hours. With the rising cost of food, throwing out the entire contents of your fridge and freezer can easily cost $1,000 or more.
- Stress-free storm season: Spend next fall and winter with one less thing to worry about and know that if the lights go out, your generator will be ready and waiting to save the day!
Get ahead of next year’s storms and invest in a reliable standby generator so the next time the power goes out, you and your home are ready! Fox is offering a free quote and 15 per cent off full-home and partial-home backup generator installation until April 30, 2024. Find more information online.
