Generator Sales for DeRidder & Leesville, LA
Think about the last time the power went out; it probably wasn’t an enjoyable experience for anyone in your home. You most likely lit quite a few candles, put your food from the refrigerator and freezer into coolers, and snuggled up under layers of blankets of stay warm and comfortable. What if you could avoid doing all of these things during future power failures? It’s possible with a standby power generator from Walters Sheet Metal LLC!
Choosing the Right Generator
So you're in the market for a new generator. Do you know where to start? Let us help! When beginning your search for a generator, it's best to consider how often you'll need to use it.
- You Often Lose Power: If you experience frequent and prolonged power outages, or live in an area that is prone to severe weather events (such as this area!), it's important to choose a generator that has enough power to run your entire household. Home standby generators, large inverters, or portable generators all have such power, plus they connect to your home's circuit breaker panel, so you can control and run hardwired appliances like your central HVAC, sump pumps, water heaters, and more.
- You Sometimes Lose Power: If your home is less prone to outages, you want an emergency backup but don't necessarily need to spend thousands of dollars on a top-of-the-line unit. A large inverter or portable generator will be the right choice here; like a home standby generator, you'll want to install a transfer switch at your breaker box in order to ensure total control.
- You Rarely Lose Power: Midsized inverters work great if all you need is to occasionally power a refrigerator and a window air conditioner or space heater.
Common Causes of Generator Failure
- Dry, cracking and otherwise bad belts
- Dead Batteries. The typical generator battery will last around four years, give or take.
- Block heater wear and tear
- Low coolant, no coolant or lack of oil which causes overheating, over crank, cracked heads, broken pistons, catastrophic engine failure
- Lack of fuel, bad fuel, out of fuel sludge in the fuel tank or lines
- Fuel leaking back into the tank
- Burnt components on the boards, electrical components, stepper motors, transfer coils, ice cube relays
- Damage caused by weather and pests. Check your generator for any signs of chewing, shredded bedding, feces, and so forth.
