It’s no secret that living in Florida from June to November brings the extra risk of experiencing a hurricane, which can put your city on pause for weeks to months on end. At Ridge Energy Savers, we understand better than most how important it is for your HVAC system to stay up and running at all times, even during extreme weather events. In this blog, we’re going to discuss the importance of owning a generator, as well as how your generator can act as a lifeline, keeping your home and your business running smoothly while you and your community recover from whatever event comes your way!
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in power outages in rural Florida due to storms, overloaded power grids, wildfires, and infrastructure issues. This is especially concerning when these outages happen right in the middle of a heatwave, causing major discomfort with rising temperatures and humidity. A generator can bridge the gap between the time the power goes out until full power is restored, ensuring your HVAC system keeps running when it matters the most!
If you’re running a business either from your home or another type of space, it’s important to recognize that downtime from a power outage can be costly. If a power outage occurs for more than a couple of hours, there’s almost a guarantee that your business will be financially affected. However, if you have a generator, then you’ll be able to keep customers comfortable, servers online, productivity going, and your business running.
One of the biggest risk factors after a power outage is the accumulation of mold and moisture issues that can quickly arise in a matter of days. Florida weather creates the perfect breeding ground for mold and moisture due to high humidity and hot weather that can invade your home without a generator keeping your HVAC system operational. Mold issues can wreak havoc on your home and your health, and can quickly become a costly issue. Keeping a generator removes the problem of mold seeping into your house after a power outage, and keeps you and your family safe!
