Whether it is the result of hot or freezing temperatures, high
winds, or severe storms, being without power can be devastating.
State Farm, the leading home insurer in the country and Generac
Power Systems, the leading manufacturer of backup power products,
have teamed to help home and business owners be better prepared for
severe weather.1
Power outages can happen at any time, rendering many modern
electricity-dependent devices useless. Without power, you may be
unable to run electrical appliances—including your refrigerator,
furnace, water heater, central air unit, well pump, and sump pump,
let alone charge your cell phone, connect to the Internet, or use
your security system. Utility power outages can't be avoided, but
the costs associated with them can be lessened by installing a home
backup generator at a home or business.
"The relationship between State Farm and Generac is a terrific
example of how we're helping make life go right for our customers,"
says Duane Farrington, Executive
Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer at State Farm.
"Technology has driven significant changes in customers'
expectations and preferences. As a homeowner, I installed a Generac
home backup generator so my family can feel safer and more
comfortable when the power is out."
"Our relationship with State Farm stems from a mutual corporate
commitment to help homeowners manage risk when disaster strikes,"
explains Clement Feng, Senior Vice
President at Generac Power Systems. "Amidst the uncertainty of when
the next outage will occur, an investment in continuous power is
the best bet to keep your home and family safe during and after a
storm."
An important consideration for any preparedness plan for home
and businesses, a standby generator can greatly reduce disruption
when utility power is interrupted. The generator is permanently
installed, sitting outside the home like a central air conditioning
unit, and runs on natural gas or liquid propane to automatically
deliver power to the home's electrical system. A standby generator
provides added protection by ensuring your home is never without
power, resulting in continued operation of sump pumps, security
systems, heating and cooling controls, and other important
appliances.
To add to homeowner's and business owner's peace-of-mind,
Generac offers smart home technology in the form of remote
monitoring. Mobile Link™ allows residents to view the generator's
status on a computer or mobile device, review maintenance history,
and take comfort knowing the generator is ready to turn on whenever
the next utility power outage occurs.
