Hurricane Season Is Here: Is Your Backup Power Ready?

Beaumont’s location near the Gulf Coast makes it susceptible to hurricanes, tropical storms, and severe thunderstorms, all of which can knock out power for hours or even days. Recent storms like Hurricane Laura (2020) and Hurricane Ida (2021) caused significant power disruptions throughout Southeast Texas, leaving thousands without electricity. When the grid goes down, homes are left vulnerable to heat, flooding, and security risks. Having a Generac standby generator ensures your home stays powered, comfortable, and protected—no matter how severe the storm.

The Real Cost of Losing Power During a Storm

A power outage doesn’t just mean the lights go out. It disrupts every part of daily life. Without electricity, air conditioning and heating systems stop working, making extreme temperatures unbearable. Refrigerators and freezers lose cooling power, leading to food spoilage within hours. Sump pumps stop running, allowing floodwaters to seep into basements and cause costly damage.

Security systems, Wi‑Fi, and communication devices shut down, leaving homeowners disconnected and vulnerable. Those relying on medical equipment such as oxygen concentrators, CPAP machines, or refrigerated medications face serious health risks without backup power.

While some homeowners use portable generators, these require manual setup, constant refueling, and only provide limited power. When an outage lasts for days, these short-term solutions aren’t enough to sustain an entire home.

How a Generac Standby Generator Keeps Your Home Running

A Generac standby generator provides instant, automatic power restoration the moment the grid fails. Unlike portable generators, it is permanently installed and connected to natural gas or propane, eliminating the need for refueling.

With a Generac generator, Beaumont homeowners can keep their HVAC system, sump pump, refrigerator, and security system running, no matter how long the power outage lasts. Whether the storm lasts a few hours or multiple days, your home remains functional, safe, and secure.

For homeowners in Southeast Texas, where hurricanes and severe weather are seasonal threats, having a reliable backup power solution is critical.

Is Your Generator Ready for Storm Season?

If you already own a Generac generator, routine maintenance is essential to ensure it operates at peak performance when needed. Generators that have been idle for months may require a battery check, fuel system inspection, or full system test to confirm they’re storm-ready.

A pre‑season maintenance check ensures your generator is fully operational before the next tropical storm or hurricane impacts Southeast Texas. Many homeowners assume their generator will start up without issue, only to realize too late that an overlooked maintenance problem has left them unprotected.

Be Prepared Before the Next Hurricane Strikes

Each year, Beaumont homeowners experience power failures caused by storms, yet many wait until it’s too late to invest in backup power. By the time a major storm is forecasted, generator demand surges, and installation schedules fill up quickly. Planning ahead ensures your home stays powered, protected, and comfortable before the next outage strikes.
