How a Generator Can Benefit You

When power outages last more than a few minutes, you begin to see your freezer items melting, you can’t get your car in and out of your garage, and your other home appliances and computers are inoperable.

This can bring your daily life to a standstill. A whole-home generator can keep your home operating in the event of an extended power outage. While your neighbors are sitting in the dark, your life will carry on as usual.

Other benefits of a backup generator include:

  • All your lights continue to work.
  • Your air conditioning and heating systems continue to work, keeping you comfortable.
  • The food in your fridge and freezer won’t spoil.
  • Your TV, computers, and other entertainment devices will continue to work.
  • Your water heater continues to work, meaning no cold showers.
  • You’ll see no disruption to your life.

Generators offer a great solution to power outages as they’re designed to turn on and off automatically when there’s a disruption in your regular power grid. We stock a full range of brands and models, including state-of-the-art Briggs & Stratton Fortress™ standby generators.

No matter the size of your home, we have a generator to fit.

Keep the power on with a whole-home generator. Contact us today at (540) 685-4040 to schedule an installation.

Call for Same-Day Generator Repairs

At Ostrom Electrical Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning, we understand the importance of having a reliable generator, especially during unexpected power outages. Our team is committed to ensuring your generator functions optimally so you can have peace of mind when the lights go out.

If you suspect your generator isn’t working correctly, contact us for same-day generator repairs in Roanoke.

Here are some signs that your generator may need attention:

  • Start-up delays: If your generator takes longer than usual to kick in when the power goes out, it might indicate an issue with the battery or engine.
  • Strange smell: An unusual odor from your generator could signal an exhaust leak or electrical problem, both needing immediate attention.
  • Unusual noises: Squealing, rattling, or humming could be caused by an overworked unit or an issue with the electrical components.
  • Visible damage: Any visible damage to the generator, such as leaks, corrosion, or loose wires, shouldn’t be ignored. These issues can lead to more significant problems if left unaddressed.

What Size Generator Do I Need for My Roanoke Home?

Generators come in various sizes, typically ranging from small units suitable for powering essential appliances to larger models capable of supplying energy to an entire household.

When it comes to powering a typical home with regular appliances, generators usually range in size from 5,000 to 8,000 watts for basic functions. However, each house is unique, and energy requirements may differ. To ensure accurate sizing and a tailored solution, contact our experts for a personalized assessment.

The size of the generator you require depends on factors such as the square footage of your home, the number and types of appliances you need to power, and any specific electrical requirements. Our professional team is ready to help you select the right size generator for your home. 

Ensure you choose the right size generator for your Roanoke home with help from the experts at Ostrom Electrical Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning.
