A very common result of a natural disaster is the loss of power. These power outages can be long-standing and result in significant hardship on a homeowner. There can be a significant cost associated with the loss of power through the loss of perishable food items, pipes that burst due to freezing temperatures, flood damage in a basement due to the sump pump not working and alternative housing if the homeowner is forced to leave the home. A good alternative to that is to install a home generator system. The installation will need a building permit, and the location should be carefully planned to avoid the generator being damaged during another disaster, rendering it useless. In most cases the installation will be done in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

And remember that your generator must be accessible for maintenance.
