The Only Standby Generator You’ll Ever Need in Champaign, IL
Champaign, Illinois, sees more than its fair share of inclement weather. Snowstorms, tornadoes, and even the remnants of hurricanes can wreak havoc on the electrical lines, leaving tens of thousands of people without power for days. But that won’t be your fate if you have a standby generator from Tri-State Water, Power & Air installed at your home.
What Is a Home Standby Generator?
A standby generator is like a backup battery for your house. The generator’s automatic transfer switch is designed to detect a power outage and immediately turn on your home’s standby generator. Generators run on either natural gas or propane, each with its own pros and cons.
Natural gas is less expensive if you already have it running to your home, and it’s always there to keep running your house for weeks, if need be. However, it’s less efficient than propane so you require more to get the same results.
Propane is more expensive, and the tank must be replenished every few days to a week. However, you get twice the BTUs—a measure of the heat content of a fuel source—per cubic foot of propane than you do from natural gas. Propane also burns cleaner, emitting far fewer greenhouse gases than natural gas does.
At Tri-State, we don’t just sell and install generators, either. We also provide ongoing maintenance and emergency service needs. We’re available 24/7 in case of a problem with your generator.
