Manhattan, KS Whole House Generator Services by M & S Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc.

Generators can be literal lifesavers for people who need them. However, not everyone has the same generator needs. For many people, it is enough to simply keep the lights on and the phone working in case of an emergency. A simple backup generator can take care of smaller stuff like that pretty easily. For some people, however, it is imperative that the entire house remain powered, possibly for an extended period of time. Perhaps you have some sensitive equipment that needs to stay on, like servers or medical monitors. Perhaps you work from home, and can’t afford to have your computer or router die on you when you’re under a deadline. Perhaps you just don’t want to be inconvenienced by a storm that could go on for one or two days straight. No matter what the reason, if you’re looking for a more powerful generator then a whole house generator might be just the thing for you. Call M & S Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. for more information on the whole house generator services that we offer.

Whole House Generator Installation

Installing a whole house generator is much more involved and difficult than with smaller systems. It involves setting aside a large area for the generator to occupy, running cables into the house to connect to the power grid, and often laying a natural gas pipeline to power the generator. This is not a job for someone without a few years of professional experience under his or her belt. In fact, with regard to the natural gas line, it is often illegal for anyone without proper licensing to interact with the municipal gas supply. You’re going to want an expert to handle this process. If you need a whole house generator installed, give us a call today.

Just like all generators, you hopefully won’t have to use your whole house generator more than once or twice every couple of years. This is good in that you don’t have to deal with the inconvenience of frequent power outages. However, this is also bad in that it’s difficult to recognize when your generator has a problem. Generators are emergency systems, which means that on those rare occasions when you do need to use them, they really need to work. If your whole house generator develops a problem in the long stretch between uses, it is very possible that you won’t know until the next time you try to use it. The nightmare scenario is to be ignorant about the status of your generator until you try and activate it during an emergency only to find out it’s broken completely. Don’t let this happen to you!
You should have a preventive generator maintenance appointment scheduled at least once a year, especially after the storm season. This will give your generator technician a chance to examine your system, make sure everything is in good condition, and fix any developing problems that may have cropped up in the last year.
