Why Generator Misconceptions Could Leave You Unprotected
When it comes to backup power, myths about cost, maintenance, and effectiveness often prevent homeowners from investing in the protection they need.
It’s time to separate fact from fiction and secure your Greenville home.
Myth #1: Portable Generators Are Just as Effective as Standby Generators
Portable generators require manual setup, refueling, and only power a few appliances. A Generac standby generator activates automatically, runs on natural gas or propane, and powers your entire home seamlessly.
Myth #2: Generators Are Only Necessary for Rural Areas
Urban and suburban neighborhoods in Greenville also face frequent outages from storms, grid failures, and extreme weather—making standby generators essential everywhere.
Myth #3: Generators Require Too Much Maintenance
Generac standby generators need minimal upkeep: periodic oil changes, battery checks, and annual professional inspections to ensure reliable performance.
Myth #4: Standby Generators Are Too Expensive
The cost of outages—spoiled food, hotel stays, water damage, and medical risks—often exceeds the investment in a standby generator, which also increases home value.
Myth #5: My Home Won’t Experience a Long Power Outage
Recent storms have left Greenville without power for days. A standby generator ensures uninterrupted power regardless of outage duration.
