Wichita Backup Generator Installation

Looking for a reliable electrical contractor to install a whole house generator in Wichita? Trust Graf Electric for safe, professional residential backup generator installation in south-central Kansas.

If a thunderstorm or ice storm were to knock out the power to your home tomorrow, would you be able to safely stay there until the electricity is restored? Sure, you could use candles and flashlights to get around. But would your food in the refrigerator spoil? Do you have medical equipment that you wouldn’t be able to operate without electricity? What about your sump pump – would it keep your basement from flooding? If you’re not sure about the answers to these questions, consider professional whole house generator installation from Graf Electric.

Keep the Lights on During a Blackout

Obviously, installing a generator means you’ll be able to keep lights on at night. Not only will this make it safer to get around inside your home, but keeping your usual security lights, cameras and other systems operating during a blackout also lowers the chance of a break-in or looting.

Make Sure Your Sump Pump Keeps Running

Unless you have a backup sump pump installed, your home is at risk of a flooded basement if the power goes out during a storm with heavy rain. And unfortunately, water damage from a failed sump pump is considered “water backup”, which isn’t covered under typical homeowners insurance policies, or even by flood insurance. A whole house generator can ensure your sump pump has the power to keep running until the electricity is restored.

Power Life-Saving Medical Equipment

Oxygen concentrators, nebulizers, CPAP and BiPAP machines all require electricity to operate. If you or someone you love relies on these medical devices, installing a backup generator will ensure their medical equipment will work even if your home loses power.

Make Sure Lines of Communication Stay Open

We rely on our smartphones to communicate with others, get weather updates and even for entertainment, all of which are important during a major storm or extended power outage. With a backup generator, you won’t have to worry about finding a power bank to keep your phone charged or conserving the battery on your kids’ tablets.

Prevent Spoiled Food

How much would it cost you to replace all the food that’s in your refrigerator or freezer right now? Investing in a standby generator will ensure your refrigerator stays cool and your freezer stays cold so there’s no risk of spoiled food if the power goes out.

Keep Your Furnace or Air Conditioner Running

Kansas weather can be brutal, from sweltering summers to withering winters. If a power outage happens during the summer and you have no electricity to power your air conditioner or fans to circulate the air, you’ll be in a miserable, or even dangerous, situation. And if you lose power during the winter when temperatures are below freezing, your furnace can’t run so you risk frozen pipes, frostbite or worse.
