Generators can be a lifesaver during any instance where your home loses electricity, and they can save you from missing out on essential conveniences. If your power went out during an unbearably hot day, for example, the generator would take effect and get your air conditioning going again.

Other devices such as televisions and computers can also sustain significant damage during a power outage as the sudden loss of power can give the device a dangerous jolt. The seamless power provided by a generator can save you the loss of these machines.

Call your insurer and ask if they offer a “loss mitigation credit,” which is an item listed on many homeowner’s insurance policies.

In essence, insurance companies don’t like to pay out on claims, and if you have a device, such as a generator, installed in your home, it reduces your chance of having damage that could lead to a claim. The loss mitigation credit could save you hundreds of dollars on your generator installation.
