The Pinecrest Tribune goes over how technology and financing have positively changed the accessibility of quality emergency stand-by generators. Previously, individuals who wanted to purchase a home generator had to go through a 12-month process dealing with permits and installation. These Florida residents had to also pay in full once the installation was complete.
What changed? According to the article, after a very active hurricane season in the years 2004-2005, the demand for generators increased dramatically outpacing the supply. After a year, as the article explains, “the supply of generator systems that power entire homes and businesses ha[d] finally caught up with demand, and most of the building departments in South Florida ha[d] updated and streamlined their installation requirements.”
Due to these events, Florida residents can now enjoy the benefits of having their generator systems installed and ready to go in a much shorter period. The improvement in technology has also made generators affordable. As the article explains, “a couple of manufacturers have introduced new generators with electrical load management technology, allowing entire homes to be powered through extended outages by smaller generators that cost less to buy and operate.”
Now that the hurricane season is here, it is important to prepare accordingly. Knowing that a generator will help keep your quality of life after the storm, as well as protect your assets.
