MALL Energy Home • September 11, 2024

Reliable Power When You Need It Most

As power outages become increasingly common due to unpredictable weather patterns, more East Texas homeowners are turning to standby generators to safeguard their homes and families. At MALL Energy Home, we’ve seen firsthand how a reliable standby generator can be a game-changer during emergencies. If you’re on the fence about investing in one, here are the top five reasons why East Texans are choosing standby generators.

1. Protection Against Extreme Weather

East Texas is no stranger to extreme weather, from severe thunderstorms to unexpected snowstorms like the one in 2021. These weather events can knock out power for hours, days, or even weeks. A standby generator ensures that your home remains powered during these outages, keeping your essential appliances, HVAC systems, and even medical equipment running smoothly.

2. Peace of Mind During Emergencies

One of the biggest benefits of owning a standby generator is the peace of mind it brings. Whether you’re away from home or asleep when a power outage strikes, a standby generator automatically kicks in, ensuring your home is powered without any manual intervention. This is especially important for East Texas homeowners with young children, elderly family members, or those who rely on medical devices.

3. Increasing Home Value

Investing in a standby generator can also increase the value of your home. In a region like East Texas, where power outages are a frequent concern, potential homebuyers may see a standby generator as a major selling point. According to real estate experts, having a reliable backup power solution can boost your home’s value by 3% to 5%. This added value makes installing a generator a smart financial decision.

4. Protection from Financial Loss

Power outages can lead to significant financial losses, whether it’s from spoiled food, frozen pipes, or missed work due to a lack of electricity. For remote workers and business owners in East Texas, losing power can mean losing income. A standby generator protects you from these potential costs, ensuring that your home and livelihood are shielded from the impact of power outages.

5. Dependability and Long-Term Savings

Unlike portable generators, standby generators are permanently installed and connected to your home’s electrical system. They are designed to provide consistent, reliable power whenever you need it. With proper maintenance, these generators can last for decades, providing long-term savings by reducing the costs associated with frequent power outages. At MALL Energy Home, we offer comprehensive maintenance services to keep your generator in peak condition.
