Backup Generators

Generac Generators

A power outage can make you feel like life is on hold and often leads to added stress.

A home standby generator is the perfect back-up plan for your home. The main purpose of a home or commercial standby generator is to provide electricity to your home when the electricity from your local utility is off. A Generac home standby generator will ensure you have power when you need it. A generator can be an expensive proposition. If you are looking for financing options Roberts Electrical offers 100% financing with easy payment plans.

Generac is the top selling generator brand in North America. As the makers of the OHVI engine Generac has some the most powerful and longest lasting backup generators available. Choosing a qualified generator installer is more involved than simply comparing quotes. While many qualified electricians are experts at wiring homes or troubleshooting a problem circuit, not every electrician has experience installing a standby generator system. Be sure to always ask any would-be installer about their experience installing a standby generator.

If given a choice between an Electrician and a certified Generac Electrical Contractor with good experience installing standby generators the decision should be easy.

Your best chance of having a generator installed correctly comes from a factory-authorized dealer. Give Roberts Electrical a call for a no-obligation quote. Roberts Electrical installs more generators than any other dealer in the Sudbury area!

Surge Protection

Without proper house surge protection electrical spikes can damage electrical devices that are plugged into your electrical system. Even more catastrophic surges can occur if lightning strikes a power line near your home. Whole house surge protection is a must in this day and age to prevent damage to your home’s electrical devices. Roberts Electrical can install a whole home surge suppressor in your home and give you the peace of mind that you deserve today!

Common reasons for power surges in the home are:

• Lightning strike of a power line

• Power lines that have been downed

• Local industrial electrical demands

• On/off cycling of home appliances such as refrigerators and HVAC

Damages from a lightning strike can cost you thousands of dollars in damage to your electrical equipment. A surge from outside your home can travel on any wire that leads into your home. This means an electrical wire, a TV/internet cable and even your telephone line. For large surges caused by lightning, a whole house surge protector is needed to curtail the electrical overload from ever reaching your internal home wiring system.

Roberts Electrical can help you protect your home and provide professional installation services.

Surges occur more commonly from cycling devices in your home, or downed power lines. Each time you’re HVAC or refrigerator turns on, a surge or spike of electricity runs through the individual wiring circuit in your home. These recurring surges, over time, can harm other devices that are on the same circuit until one day your television or microwave simply doesn’t work anymore.

Power strips with surge protection are the second line of defense against internal power surges in your home. However, don’t be fooled into thinking that your home is protected just because you have your equipment plugged into a power strip. Important criteria for power strips have to be met to provide your electronic devices with adequate protection. If these standards are not present, the power strips are no better than plugging a piece of equipment into an unprotected wall socket.

Protect your home from the possibility of a whole house surge and from the normal surges caused by common electrical appliances. Roberts Electrical in Sudbury has the experience, knowledge and training to help you get the best protection for a reasonable price. Please call us for a consultation and installation appointment; it’s our pleasure to provide you with prompt quality service in greater Sudbury and the surrounding areas
