As the spring season begins, it brings sunnier days, flowers blooming and outdoor activities increasing. It also can bring erratic temperature changes in Southeastern Pennsylvania leading to unpredictable thunderstorms and winds.

What is predictable is the reliability of a standby generator’s capability to provide consistent power when your primary electricity source fails. 

That’s why more homeowners in Chester and Delaware County are turning to whole-house generator installation to keep their homes powered, safe, and comfortable no matter what the weather (or the grid) throws at them.

At Lightning Technologies, as a local generator installer serving Chester County and Delaware County, we’ve experienced how important backup power has become for homeowners.With increasing reliance on integrated smart home systems, electric heating and cooling, medical equipment and remote work setups, constant connection isn’t a desire, it’s essential.

With a professionally installed generator, you can power your entire home—including HVAC systems, lights, outlets, refrigerators, medical equipment, and internet—automatically when the grid goes down.

Local Weather Is Getting More Unpredictable

Frost warnings at night turn into 80 degree days in less than 36 hours. Sounds shocking, but that’s become expected in Chester and Delaware County. That disparity means different weather systems moving in and out causing unpredictable storms. And unpredictable storms can cause unpredictable damage to power lines. And as climate change drives more volatile conditions, these kinds of outages are only becoming more common.

A Generac or Kohler standby generator installed by a certified technician from Lightning Technologies ensures that no matter the forecast, your home stays powered and protected.
