Should I Get a Back Up Generator for my Home?

Google-Logo-1

over 3849+ reviews

Here in the New York and Connecticut areas, strong summer storms often result in power outages. A potent gust of wind can cause a branch to slam onto a utility line and leave your home without electricity for hours at a time.

If you’re on the fence about whether you should buy a generator for your home, there are some situations that favor owning a residential generator you might want to take into consideration. Let’s examine a few of these situations to determine whether they’re likely to affect you and your family.

Reasons To Own a Backup Generator

The team here at Bruni & Campisi thought up a few pretty sound reasons for purchasing a backup power generator, including:

  • Generators for Medical Equipment: If you or a member of your family relies on electric-powered medical equipment, a backup power generator is essential to ensure its continued, smooth operation.
  • Generators for Food Safety: If a really strong storm hits and causes extensive damage to your neighborhood, your utility power might be out for a while. Should this happen, perishable food in your refrigerator will spoil. If a few days of restaurant take-out isn’t financially feasible, you’ll want to think about getting a generator to keep your food fresh and edible as your utility company restores power.
  • Generators for Data Safety: If your home’s IT system relies on a constant power source to maintain the integrity of your data, you’ll want to consider investing in a power generator equipped with an automatic transfer switch that can instantly transfer power once utilities fail.
  • Generators for Sump Pumps: A strong summer storm that brings with it massive amounts of rain can spell trouble for your home’s basement. If your home is outfitted with a sump pump, you’ll want to invest in a generator to ensure water is being kept out of places it shouldn’t be.
  • Generators for Peace of Mind: You should feel comfortable in your own home. If a storm knocks out your utility power, you may have to endure unpleasant weather conditions, a disengaged security system and the challenge of navigating your rooms without the aid of light. A backup power generator can provide you and your family with a sense of normalcy as utilities are restored to your home.

What Our Customers Say About Us

Max came out to provide a quote to relocate an electrical outlet for an EV charger. No easy feat, considering the work would require running a conduit down a 20-ft cliff through earth and rock. After significant time scoping the site, phone calls consulting his partners, and taking a lot of photos, he explained in detail exactly how he would creatively execute the project. He was very friendly, professional and thorough.

My technician, Max, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. His many years of expertise definitely showed off as he crushed my issue with ease and solved it way quicker than I was expecting, all while being able to hold a full conversation. I think very highly of Bruni & Campisi because of excellent electrician they sent today, and will be doing more business with them in the future. 😁👍👍

Unsolicited review for B&C because the tech Bobby was just so good. We have an old house and needed vents in our bathrooms which required some strategic thinking. We expected a good amount of ceiling repair after the job and budget for painters. Turns out we didn’t need them because Bobby devised a plan that required absolutely no repairs after the fact. Both fans look like they were always there. While B&C might be a little more expensive, we’ve found that its worth paying for quality service in the end, whether its electrical, hvac or plumbing!

I leveraged their services on an electrical issue. They assigned the job to Max. He is new to the company but was excellent through and through - He fixed the issue. Very knowledgeable, polite, and professional. Highly recommended. I am an Astacio customer, but tried Bruni for the 1st time. I highly recommend them if you encounter a time sensitive electrical matter. Max is your go to electrician.
