Home Generator Information

The storms predicted for this hurricane season have gone up, and it is important to prepare by purchasing a quality generator. Many residents of Houston, Texas, and Florida, may have already purchased a portable generator due to their affordability. Some safety measures should be considered when operating these types of units.

A carbon monoxide detector should be installed inside your home. The units must be placed outside the home to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. According to the UT Health Science Center, after Hurricane Ike hit the state of Texas in 2008, 75% of children treated for carbon monoxide poisoning were due to gas-powered generators left inside the home.

If you would like to benefit from a generator without having to worry about poisonous fumes, you can purchase an emergency standby generator. The natural gas unit is installed outside the home as a permanent fixture. It not only increases the value of the home, but it will turn on automatically once the power goes out, maintaining your quality of life during and after the storm.
