Why Every Midwest Home Needs a Standby Generator

If you live in the Midwest, you know how fast the weather can turn. Severe thunderstorms, ice storms, tornadoes, and polar vortex events have become increasingly common — and increasingly severe. A Generac whole-home standby generator isn’t a luxury anymore. It’s a necessity.

The Cost of Being Unprepared

The average power outage costs a homeowner $1,000–$3,000 in food spoilage, hotel stays, and property damage. Homeowners with medical equipment or home offices face even greater losses. A standby generator pays for itself after just a few outages.

How a Standby Generator Works

Unlike portable generators that require you to drag them out, fill them with gas, and manually connect them, a Generac standby generator:

  • Is permanently installed outside your home
  • Runs on natural gas or propane — no fuel to store
  • Automatically starts within seconds of a power outage
  • Automatically shuts off when utility power is restored
  • Self-tests weekly to ensure it’s ready when you need it
