security they provide, especially considering that power outages are becoming a common occurrence across the country.

Whole house or stand-by Honda generators deliver several benefits beyond providing reliable backup power. These benefits include:
* Whole house or stand-by generators typically Increase the value of the home
* These stand-by generators are very convenient due to their fixed location and automatic switch technology. The switch to generated power can be accomplished either by the push of a button or automatically, depending on the configuration of the generator.
* Honda generators switch on and start to deliver power within ten to thirty seconds of a power outage. This benefit can be extremely important when homeowners rely on electrically powered medical devices or are using sensitive equipment such as computers. These generators also switch to the off position when regular power comes back on line.
* Because they can be hooked up to a natural gas line, they have virtually indefinite run times, a critical benefit in situations where outages last for extended periods.
* Indefinite run times can also be critical in situations where frequent tank changes might not be an option. This can be the case where elderly people are not physically able to change a fuel tank or in severe weather situations where changing a tank outdoors might prove to be dangerous.
