DON'T STRESS OVER A POWER OUTAGE

BE PREPARED WITH A WHOLE HOME GENERATOR

Oftentimes people will associate power outages with natural disasters, but as the summer heat continues in the PNW, we are reminded of planned outages. With the terrain dry and the heat smoldering, power companies have this option. By doing this, they reduce the likelihood of overloading the power systems which can cause sparks to fly. After facing numerous fires in 2020 that reshaped large portions of the PNW, planned outages have become a common way to enforce accident prevention based on energy consumption. 

To combat these planned outages, we are proud to be a certified Cummins whole home generator dealer and installer. Should a power outage occur, whether planned or otherwise, the generator will kick on as soon as it is needed, providing a seamless power backup for your entire home. While a portable generator could help to keep your fridge running and a few other small electronics, a whole home generator will keep your AC going, as well as all your other electrical amenities. 

BENEFITS OF A WHOLE HOME GENERATOR DURING A HEAT WAVE

• Health Benefits: heat related illness threatens when the temperatures heighten. Reduce this risk with consistent cooling, such as using a AC
• Maintain a Cool Environment: a whole home generator is powerful enough to keep your AC running through a power outage, providing a safe indoor space for all occupants
