What are the Benefits of a Whole-Home Generator?
Choosing Cromwell Solar as your standby generator installer gives you more than just electricity — it’s an investment in security, value, and peace of mind.
-
Whether it’s a Topeka ice storm, high winds in Manhattan, or extreme summer heat in Lawrence, a whole-home generator keeps your furnace, A/C, appliances, and essential systems running without interruption.
-
Unlike risky portable units that require manual setup, refueling, and proper venting, a standby generator is permanently installed, automatically activated, and directly connected to natural gas or propane for safe, worry-free operation.
-
A standby generator can increase your home value by up to 5%, and according to Remodeling Magazine, installing one can provide a 150% return on investment — making it one of the smartest home improvements you can make.
-
Cromwell Solar installs Generac generators, backed by a 5-year limited warranty with frequent promotions that extend coverage even longer, giving you unmatched peace of mind.
-
Many insurance providers offer 5–10% discounts on homeowner policies for professionally installed standby generators, recognizing the protection they provide against costly claims like flooding, fire, or frozen pipes.
