Generators

IN LUBBOCK, TX

Don’t Get Caught in the Dark

Weather forecasters do a great job at keeping us updated and informed when extreme weather is on the horizon. But even the most trained and experienced have no actual control over the consequences of extreme weather events. As the old saying goes, weather is the one thing we cannot manage.

Lubbock, TX is a wonderful place to live, but even we must stay prepared since we are within what is known as ‘Tornado Alley’. If a thunderstorm hits the Lubbock area, it may be the catalyst for strong winds, hail, and at worst, a tornado. The aftermath of extreme weather events like these typically mean trees will be knocked down affecting power lines. Countless homes in the Lubbock area will potentially be without electricity.

Since we cannot rely on crystal balls or arthritic joints to keep us prepared for unexpected bad weather, we must rely on common sense and available information to be proactive in the event the power goes out. We must plan and prepare, so we are always ready. What does it mean when we talk about the electricity that powers your appliances, electronics, and home comfort system?

The answer is simple. You need a standby generator to protect your whole house.

When the Power Goes Out, You’ll Have Nothing to Fear

Comfort: A generator can keep your home comfort systems, refrigerator, and other appliances running during a power outage, giving you a sense of security and assurance during the worst of storms.
Cost Savings: A generator can help you avoid thousands of dollars in expenses during and after a power outage from damaged appliances and thawed, rancid food from your refrigerator and freezer.
Peace of Mind: A generator provides immediate power during a blackout. It comes on automatically and costs very little to operate. Since backup generators are powered by natural or liquid propane (LP) gas, they are extremely energy-efficient and run at a low operating cost.
