    10 reasons to have a generator at home

    Having a generator at home in these times is definitely a good idea. Over the past year, Europe has experienced many natural disasters, such as floods, windstorms, or earthquakes, which cut off thousands of people from electricity for more than 20 hours.

    A portable generator can keep your entire household running for the necessary amount of time. Your refrigerator, freezer, lighting, or medical equipment will stay operational, making the power outage more bearable and also safer.

     
     

    1. A helper for DIY projects during occasional outdoor activities

    If you want to work in the garden, for example to install a garden solar shower or a fence, or build a garden shed, and you are out of reach of an electrical outlet, a portable generator allows you to plug in your power tools and finish your project quickly instead of constantly changing batteries in cordless tools, or running back home to recharge them.

    2. Use electricity even where there is no electrical grid

    Do you often visit a cottage, go camping, or spend time in places without access to electricity? A generator can be an ideal helper to enrich and improve those moments.


    3. A helper for professional use, e.g., on construction sites, installations, exhibitions, and outdoor events

    On construction sites and during installations, generators provide temporary electricity for tools and lighting. They are a welcome power source at open-air events, concerts, and festivals, where they power sound systems and other equipment.


    4. You rely on electrically powered medical equipment

    Some patients receiving home treatment need their medical devices connected to power at all times, making a backup power source essential.


    5. Backup power for power outages in industry, healthcare facilities, or large-scale farms (loss minimization)

    A permanently installed generator detects problems with grid connection and switches on automatically. This can save you significant operational costs.

    6. You won’t lose your food supplies

    Food in the refrigerator starts to spoil after just 4 hours without power. For such situations, it is always good to have a generator at hand to save the contents of your fridge and freezer.

    7. You work from home

    Since the beginning of Covid-19, many jobs offer the option to work from home, and in such cases, even a short power outage can lead to a significant financial loss.


    8. Backup power for charging electric cars (E-cars)

    A power outage can completely immobilize electric car owners. With a portable generator, you can safely drive to work, go shopping, visit the emergency room, or take care of other essential tasks.


    9. Your children won’t be afraid when the lights go out

    Are your children—or maybe even you—afraid of the dark? A home generator keeps your lights on at all times, regardless of the central power supply. Power outages won’t bother you anymore. 


    10. Peace of mind

    Everyone can handle being without electricity for a short time. But the longer this period lasts, the less comfortable your home becomes without typical and essential conveniences. A generator ensures your family’s comfort, safety, and peace—even during unexpected situations such as storms that may cause power outages.
