A solid home standby generator system is one of the most valuable resilience upgrades you can make—especially in areas where storms and grid interruptions are becoming more frequent. 

A generator can be a lifeline during severe weather, but it also brings serious risks if it isn’t set up safely and well before a storm hits.

Choosing the right generator for power outages starts with thinking about how long outages last in your area, what appliances you need to keep running, and how hands‑on you want to be during an emergency.
