Many homeowners wonder if home generators in Nashville, TN<\/a> are worth it. The fact is, power outages in Tennessee are happening more and more frequently. If you\u2019ve ever had to throw away an entire refrigerator\u2019s worth of food, you\u2019ve probably figured out that whole house generators are worth it just for the convenience factor. They have the power to keep your whole house powered on during a major outage as if nothing has happened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, you can try and make do with a portable generator. But do you really want to have to worry about starting it up and keeping it fueled up during a major storm or during an extended outage that lasts several days?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from the fact that a standby generator is completely worth it for the safety and convenience it provides, some homeowners would like to know if investing in a whole house generator is worth it as a financial investment in their home. We understand this completely and the answer is a resounding yes. Let\u2019s discuss how a whole house generator is a sound investment and should increase the value of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Whole House Generators As A Home Investment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Consumer reports estimate that having a whole house generator installed will increase your home\u2019s value by as much as 3-5%. To illustrate this, let\u2019s say your house is valued at $400,000. At the low end, investing in a  generator would increase your home\u2019s value to $412,000, and at the high end, $420,000. Also, a whole house generator is seen as a great selling feature for potential buyers if you\u2019re planning to ever sell your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also been shown that the purchase of a standby generator can bring a 150% return on investment which is a high ROI for a home upgrade. Bathroom and kitchen remodeling usually have an ROI of 60-70%. Although having a fancy shower and marble countertops are nice to have, they won\u2019t protect your family and home and keep you in true comfort like a whole house generator will. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Do Whole House Generators Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve almost talked you into it. Your last, lingering question might be, but how long do they last? You\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised to learn that whole house generators can last for decades! The estimate for a whole house generator is 3,000 hours worth of use. Let\u2019s say you end up using your generator for 100 hours a year. That means it should last for 30 years. That\u2019s a lot longer than just about any other major piece of equipment in your home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
