How Standby Generators Add Value to Your Home and Your Life

MALL Energy Home • June 18, 2024

Enhance Your Home's Worth and Ensure Peace of Mind

Investing in a standby generator can do more than just keep your lights on during a power outage; it can also add significant value to your home and improve your overall quality of life. At MALL Energy Home, we’ve seen firsthand how a well-chosen generator can be a game-changer for East Texas residents.

Home Value Boost: What the Experts Say

According to a Consumer Reports study, a whole-house generator properly installed by licensed and certified electricians could raise your home's value by 3% to 5%. However, while it's almost universally true that home value increases, the exact amount can vary widely. Based on various data and reports, the added value can range from 50% to 150% of the generator’s cost.

Keep in mind that if your primary goal is to increase your home’s value, a $10,000 generator installation might not necessarily add $10,000 to your home's market value. Factors such as the generator's condition, age, and regional demand play crucial roles in determining the value added.

Beyond Valuation: Peace of Mind and Daily Benefits

While the financial benefits are appealing, the true value of a standby generator lies in the peace of mind it provides. Here are some reasons why a standby generator is a valuable addition to your home:
