May 27, 2025

At Premier Plus Electric, Inc., we know homeowners are always looking for smart ways to protect their investment and increase property value. One often-overlooked upgrade that delivers big returns? Installing a standby generator—especially a trusted brand like Generac.

Whether you’re preparing for the unexpected or planning to sell your home, here’s why a standby generator is more than just a backup plan—it’s a value-boosting asset.

Why a Standby Generator Adds Value

Peace of Mind = Buyer Appeal

Homebuyers are drawn to features that offer security and convenience. A professionally installed standby generator means the home is ready for power outages—keeping the lights, HVAC, appliances, and security systems running no matter what.

Increased Resale Value

According to real estate experts, homes with standby generators can see a resale value increase of up to 3-5%, depending on location and generator size. It’s an especially attractive feature in areas prone to storms, rolling blackouts, or harsh weather.

Improved Home Functionality

A generator ensures the home stays comfortable and safe during power interruptions. That means no spoiled food, frozen pipes, or disrupted work-from-home routines—major selling points in today's market.

Insurance Incentives

Some insurance providers offer discounts on homeowner's premiums for homes with professionally installed backup power systems, further adding to the long-term value.
