Whole Home Generators in Boynton Beach, FL
Keep The Lights On In Your Home With A Whole Home Generator
You hear the thunder in the distance. A low, ominous rumble growing oppressively closer and closer. Then, you start to see the flashes outside your window, brief and faint at first but growing in frequency and intensity.
Finally, it seems like the storm is on top of you, and as you watch the rain soak everything outside you see the lights in your neighborhood start to blink out, home by home. But not at your home - there's the briefest flicker but your lights stay on and your appliances keep humming, powered by the whole home generator you had installed by SunCoast Home Solutions.
Nobody wants to get caught in an awful storm (or any other situation that could cause you to lose power), but doesn't the above scenario sound great otherwise? That's the peace of mind a whole home generator will get you. No trudging outside to jerk the pull starter on a gas-powered generator that will barely keep your fridge going. A whole home generator is like your own personal power station, ready to take over at a moment's notice so you never have to do without electricity.

How Does A Whole Home Generator Work?
Unlike a generator you pick up at Lowe's that burns through gas, roars loudly while operating and only puts out enough juice to keep a few things powered, a whole home generator does exactly that - powers your whole home. It's a permanent installation that is hooked up to your home's existing natural gas or liquid propane lines as a fuel source and is tied into your home's electrical service and power grid in a more fundamental way.
When it detects a loss of power, it automatically kicks on, burning its fuel to generate power which it then sends into your home just as if it were coming from your local electrical grid. There might be a brief flicker of power loss, but then everything in your home will be on and powered, whatever is happening outside.
What Are The Benefits Of A Whole Home Generator
It's obvious that the main benefit of a whole home generator is that you always have power when you need it. But the benefits don't stop there. Other advantages include:
- It's Quiet - A regular generator is like the engine in your car - when you fire it up, it's obnoxiously loud. A whole home generator runs nearly silent.
- It's Easy - No more risking the bad weather to start up a traditional generator. Whole home generators kick on automatically and shut down when power is restored.
- It's Cost-Effective - How much money do you stand to lose in terms of food costs if your refrigerator goes out? Keep your fridge powered and your food fresh.
- It's Safe - Since a whole home generator is tied to your natural gas or propane lines, there's less chance of carbon monoxide exposure comment with portable units. Plus, it will keep all of your lighting and security devices online and operating during a blackout.
- It's Virtually Endless - As long as it has a flow of fuel from your lines, a whole home generator will keep running, providing all the power you need.
Safe, simple, convenient. A whole home generator can truly be a game changer for you and your family, especially in an area as unfortunately storm-prone as ours.
Things to Consider Before Installing a Whole Home Generator
Before investing in a whole home generator, there are a few crucial factors to consider to ensure it meets your needs and operates efficiently:
- Generator Size: Choosing the right generator size is key to ensuring it can power your entire home. The generator’s capacity must align with your electrical consumption, and a professional can help determine the correct size based on your home’s square footage and energy demands.
- Fuel Source: Most whole home generators run on natural gas or propane. It's essential to evaluate your fuel availability and consider long-term fuel costs. If your area has a reliable natural gas supply, it may be the most efficient option for your needs.
- Installation Costs: Professional installation is critical for ensuring the generator is safely connected to your home’s electrical system. Installation costs can vary, and you may also need permits depending on local regulations, so be sure to get a detailed estimate.
- Maintenance Requirements: Regular maintenance is necessary to keep your generator running smoothly. Set up a maintenance plan with a licensed technician to perform annual inspections, oil changes, and necessary repairs to keep it functioning optimally during an outage.
How to Maintain Your Whole Home Generator
To ensure your generator is ready to provide power when you need it most, follow these essential maintenance steps:
- Routine Inspections: Schedule an annual inspection with a certified technician to check for wear and tear, ensuring the generator is in peak condition.
- Fuel Checks: Inspect the fuel lines and fuel levels regularly to make sure there are no leaks and that the generator has enough fuel to run in an emergency.
- Battery Maintenance: Check the battery at least twice a year to ensure it has a full charge and is free from corrosion. A weak battery can prevent your generator from starting when needed.
- Test Runs: Perform a monthly test run of your generator. Let it run for at least 20 minutes to ensure that it’s operating correctly and that there are no performance issues.
