Importance of Power Backup in Kissimmee  

Kissimmee residents bear the cost of subtropical climate consequences. Every summer, Kissimmee residents prepare for hurricane season. Thunderstorms, hurricanes, and tropical systems also mean downed power lines and outages that last for hours and in some cases, days. Outages can pose problems for residents connected to:  

  •  Refrigerators and freezers are used for food storage.  
  •  Medical devices.  
  •  Home security devices.  
  •  Remote working tools.  
  •  HVAC systems.   

With over standby generator installations, you can keep all of these systems functional regardless of the conditions. Standby units are better than portable generators. For one, they activate automatically when the power outages.

Whole-House vs. Backup Generator: What’s the Difference?  

These two phrases have become interchangeable, and while there is some overlap, there is also a difference in backup generator installations in Kissimmee and whole-house generator installations.  

 Whole-house generators are designed to power the entire home, lights, devices, and appliances, at the same time and seamlessly, which provides uninterrupted peace during a power outage.  

 Backup generators are designed, in most cases, to only power the essential systems of a home (refrigerators, lights, and HVAC) and are often a budget-friendly solution. 

Altech Electric believes in evaluating your energy requirements before recommending appropriate generator configurations and sizes. Whether you require basic or full generator coverage, you can be sure to receive reliable whole-house generator installation in Kissimmee, which has been constructed to stand the test of time.
