Time for a Generator Upgrade?

You count on your generator to be there in your time of need, but even the most loyal one only lasts a few decades before its performance starts to decline. If you’ve had your one for a while, here are some of the signs it’s time for a generator upgrade.

Your Electricity Demands Have Increased

Once upon a time, a generator only needed to produce enough electricity to keep the lights on and major appliances running. Today, the minimum electrical demand of most homes has grown significantly, especially with all of the smart home technology and devices that need power. If your generator is no longer well-matched with your needs, you won’t get the reliability from it that you want.

You Want Greater Safety and Convenience

Depending on how long ago you bought your generator, it may not have the safety benefits and features that today’s models offer. This can be tough to determine on your own, so it’s smart to call a licensed electrician to evaluate your generator and also consider adding an automatic transfer switch to maximize safety and ease of use.

Your Generator is Old

As with all appliances, a generator has a natural lifespan. And while that can be up to 30 or 40 years, eventually, it needs to be replaced. If you use your generator heavily, you can expect it to quit far sooner than 30 years from when you purchased it. It’s worth looking at your generator and its efficiency with a realistic eye to decide whether now is a good time to replace it, before you go to use it and it doesn’t work.

I love Joe and his crew!! They are truly genuine down to earth people who strive to get the job done in a timely professional manner and did not try to upsell me on completely irrelevant items. Their communication skills exceed any other companies I've spoken with while I was obtaining bids to replace my electrical panel and other minor upgrades around my home. Joe was one of the only electricians who brought up a surge protector after he noticed all the new HVAC equipment I recently had installed in my home. I am truly thankful for that suggestion as it will save me a lot of money in the long run. Treg was the electrician who did most of our work onsite. He was very friendly, easy to talk to and gave me advice on things to look out for in the future. Their pricing is more than fair for the quality of workmanship they offer! I have not been this impressed with a trade like this in a very long time. Will refer them to all of my friends, family and acquaintances! Thanks Electrical Outfitters NW!
