"Do I need a Generator?"

Emergency Power During Outages:

A primary reason for having a generator is to ensure a reliable source of power during unexpected outages. Whether it's due to severe weather, utility issues, or other unforeseen circumstances, a generator can keep essential appliances, lights, and systems running, providing comfort and security for your home.

​

Backup Power for Critical Equipment:

In certain situations, having a generator is crucial for powering critical equipment such as medical devices, refrigeration, or heating and cooling systems. This is particularly important for individuals who depend on specific appliances or equipment for health reasons or other essential functions.

​

Maintaining Convenience at Second Homes:

For those with second homes on The North Fork, a generator becomes a valuable asset to maintain convenience and peace of mind. When you're away from your second residence, a power outage could lead to issues like frozen pipes, spoiled food, or security system failures. A generator ensures that essential systems continue to operate seamlessly, safeguarding your second home and its contents even in your absence.
