Always be prepared for storms with a backup generator! Keep your power running for usage of water heaters, air conditioning, or other appliances.

With the storm season swiftly approaching El Dorado and Placer County, SERVPRO of El Dorado Hills/Placerville has been emphasizing the importance of emergency storm preparedness. As leading storm damage restoration experts, we are familiar with the risks posed by storms, including the best ways to prepare for them. 

Here Are 5 Benefits of Having a Backup Generator During a Storm

You Don’t Get Stuck In The Dark

You won’t have to rely on flashlights or candles to go about your business at home. By getting a backup generator that automatically activates during power failures, it will ensure that your home stays well-lit.

Remaining Comfortable

It can be devastating if the temperatures are extreme and you don’t have adequate power to use heating or air conditioning. By investing in a generator, it will allow you to stay warmer during the winter months, or cooler during the summer months until regular power is restored.

Food Won’t Spoil

Refrigerated food can spoil easily if the power outage lasts more than a few days. With a backup generator, you won’t have to rely on dry goods, and your food will last longer!

Maintain Communications

We at SERVPRO of El Dorado Hills/Placerville recommend that it is vital to have radio contact, or even better, internet and television access too, to stay apprised of weather updates and to reach out for help in the case of an emergency. 

Control Flooding

Consider getting a backup generator to help prevent your basement from flooding in the event of a storm flood. Even during a power outage, you will be able to connect your sump pump to drain water. This will save you a lot on emergency water damage repair costs.
