When storms leave Baltimore homeowners without access to reliable power, their safety and comfort can be at risk.<\/p>\r\n
Whether you’re left stumbling around a pitch-black home or without access to hot water and HVAC, a sudden blackout can be dangerous. That’s why homeowners are choosing whole-home generators<\/a> to ensure total peace of mind.<\/p>\r\n At United Air Temp, our highly trained electricians offer expert installation of products from industry-leading brands. With upfront pricing and free quotes, there’s never been a better time to prepare for the unexpected and improve your overall comfort.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n A whole-home electric generator is a home power backup system and emergency power solution that ensures your home has access to reliable power during any outage.<\/p>\r\n Unlike a portable system, a whole-house system can offer enough power to run your entire home, so your most critical systems \u2014 including HVAC, security, medical devices, refrigerators, and more \u2014 can continue to run during any storm or blackout.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n Residential standby generators monitor your home’s electrical supply to detect outages and automatically start your generator.<\/p>\r\n The generator then supplies power to your home’s electrical panel to restore electricity. It can be powered by natural gas, propane, or diesel until the power grid is restored.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n A whole-home generator system offers a wide range of benefits, including:<\/p>\r\n Choosing the right home power generator system starts with selecting the right fuel option for your home. Options include:<\/p>\r\n Whole-home generator costs can range from $6,000 to $11,000, which includes the cost of the generator and the labor. However, size and fuel types will make a dramatic impact on the cost.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n Smaller generators that are 7 to 10 kW range from $2,000 to $3,000, while the largest 17 to 20 kW systems can cost between $4,000 and $6,000. Generators in the 13 to 16 kW range fall right in the middle at $3,000 to $4,000 on average.<\/p>\r\n Fuel type also impacts the overall cost. Natural gas systems range in cost from $2,000 to $6,000, not including the cost of standby generator installation. Liquid propane systems cost about the same, while diesel systems range from $5,000 to $18,000, not including installation.<\/p>\r\n At United Air Temp, we offer a simple and streamlined process for whole-home generator installation.
