Key Takeaway
Rolling generators are a great option for budget-conscious families who value portability and want to be
prepared for rare and brief power outages. By contrast, standby generators are better suited for families who don’t
mind paying for unmatched convenience and the ability to carry on as usual during power outages.
Who Should Install a Generator
People who work from home
Families with children or health concerns
Homeowners in forested, rural, or exurban areas
Individuals who value preparation and self-reliance
Convenience
Life grinds to a halt when the power goes out. You’ll lose your internet connection. Your dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer will all stop. You’ll sip cold coffee and stare at a black TV screen while waiting for the power company to fix the problem. Meanwhile, the battery bar on your phone will start to shrink. But with a generator installed, you can sidestep these inconveniences and continue to enjoy your creature comforts.
Comfort
You’ll lose more than your lights, appliances, and internet connection when the power goes out; you’ll also lose your HVAC system. This means that you’ll end up sweating or shivering as you sit around bored in the dark while you wait for the power company to finish making repairs. But with an appropriate generator installed, you’ll stay just as comfortable as ever.
Safety
Comfort and convenience issues aside, power outages can also be flat-out dangerous. People fall when stumbling around in the dark, and without electricity, some medical devices will stop working. Carbon monoxide poisoning even becomes more common as people reach for “creative” heating solutions during the winter. But a generator will help keep your family safe and prevent you from scrambling during disruptions.
Save Money
Make no mistake: Power outages cost you money. You may miss work or find it necessary to replace a freezer full of food. You may find yourself paying for hotel rooms during extended outages. Your pipes could even freeze if the outage happens during a cold snap, potentially leading to unthinkable amounts of flood damage. But professionally installed generators allow you to avoid these kinds of unexpected costs entirely.

Which Type of Generator Is Right for You?
Rolling Generators (Also Called Portable Generators)
Rolling blackouts are intentional power disruptions designed to take some strain off the electric grid. Unfortunately, power companies are finding it necessary to initiate them more often than in the past. Worst of all, they’re most common during the middle of the summer and winter, when you need your HVAC system the most. But if you install a generator, you’ll avoid these kinds of problems entirely.
Standby Generators (Also Called “Whole-Home Generators”)
Many home security systems switch to battery power during outages, but these batteries only last for about four to sixhours in many cases. This can leave your home and family unprotected during extended outages. Additionally, somesecurity systems and service plans rely solely on Wi-Fi connections, which stop working during outages. Fortunately, generators eliminate these kinds of problems and help keep your loved ones safe.
