Reasons to Install Home Generators in Des Moines

We live in an age where everyone wants to stay connected at all times to the internet and to each other. A power outage can interrupt that flow. If you have home medical equipment that relies on electricity, a power outage can also be dangerous.

A whole-house generator can prevent all of this from happening. A generator works by converting mechanical energy or energy from a motor to electrical energy.

When you install a home generator, you can choose which appliances and outlets you want it to run. A generator usually provides power to just the necessary appliances, like your refrigerator, hot water heater and heating and cooling system.

It may also supply power to emergency lights to keep your home illuminated for increased safety. Generators come in different sizes and types. If you’re unsure which one would best suit your home, a professional electrician can offer advice.

There are many benefits home generators can bring to your home:

Keep necessary equipment running in an outage
Prevent food spoilage
Improved safety and security
Increased comfort
Reduced damage to appliances

Generator FAQs

Generator output:

The higher the output of a generator, the more equipment you can connect to it. This is an important consideration to make when determining what appliances and electronics need to be powered in an emergency. But you also have to weigh output against the cost of the generator itself, since more output equals more money spent. You can determine a generator’s output by its kilowatts (kW).

Generator fuel type:

Generators run on different types of fuel, including diesel, propane, or natural gas. Diesel and propane tend to cost more, as they typically require installing a storage tank on the property. This isn’t the case for natural gas units, hence their lower installation costs.

Other home updates:

Modifying a home’s electrical system may be necessary to accommodate the new generator. There are also cases where upgrades to a home’s gas meter are required, or a concrete slab needs to be poured for the generator to rest on. The good news is that Golden Rule can alert you to these costs early on with a free estimate, giving you more knowledge to make an informed decision about your generator.
